A copy of the Communist manifesto

My parents gave me money for some horseback riding lessons, except the cash was in all 5’s and each bill was individually ziploc’d and the bags were taped together in a long strip and I had to pull it out of this box with it all spooled up inside. Apparently it took my stepfather two days to complete. He wanted to do all 2 dollar bills, but the bank didn’t have enough

This year, I decided to have a little fun by pranking my father with a “high-tech” Christmas gift. I wrapped up an old, broken remote control, paired it with a random manual for a smart home system, and wrote a letter claiming it was the newest device to control everything in the house with just his voice.

He spent a good 15 minutes trying to figure out how it worked, yelling commands at the remote like “Turn on the lights!” and “Start the coffee maker!” while the family tried not to burst out laughing.

Eventually, I let him in on the joke that in 1998, the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell in a Cell, and he plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer’s table.

My mom is giving a Ouija board in the white elephant, and the person that opens it and loses it first will find it (an identical one) in their backseat when they leave like its haunting them.

The classic, wrap paper into a large box shape (use a large box as a template if it helps but remove before sealing) then put a small gift inside. Very gently place it where it won’t get smashed, preferably after all the other presents have been placed or way at the back. Someone goes to grab it on Christmas morning and the box collapses under the slightest pressure.

So I don’t care much for presents myself and I knew I won’t get much if anything. So when I prepared the gifts for the children and the wife I also made two for me, in one I put in a orange and in the other one a banana. The family was surprised and we had a big lough about it and then I ate both :D

I bought my mom a years worth of flowers every month in advance and every note will read “Merry Christmas Mom” every month

I put a bunch of ARBG inside the retrofitted Dell Optiplex computer I gave my brother in law lol, he’s gonna use it for playing old games so it’s a fitting meme. Also installed a low profile graphics card (a GT 1030, could’ve gone for an RX 6400 but it costs 4X what I paid for the machine lol), some more RAM, a second SSD for storage. But the most important part is the ARBG 80mm case fan and 2X LED strips!

Last year I got my buddy who’s into cars for secret Santa. Along with his real gift, I got him a gag blinker fluid bottle and filled it with fireball lol

• Got my dad a bunch of Japanese woodworking tools for Christmas, in the interest of getting him to commit to a retirement hobby
• im a staunch atheist
• im wrapping two of the saws together in the shape of a crucifix and I’m going to talk about having found the good word of our lord jebus cripes

Puzzle box inside a ammo crate sealed with a variety of nuts inside a foot locker locked with a key i mixed in with 80 others. took a few hours :)

My son insisted on a gift for Dirty Santa that was in a box encased in 8 more boxes, each wrapped beautifully. Apparently it was the first gift chosen, so everyone had to sit and watch each box be unwrapped.

My sister in law has a rough time asking for things for herself. She loves her dog. I got her a few dog things; toys, treats, and each one accompanied by a super cheesy dog pun.

I usually wrap up the presents inside a box, which I wrap up, which I wrap up, which I wrap up…

Basically recursive present wrapping

We were going to bring a rotisserie chicken in a gift box for a white elephant gift exchange, but worried about it going bad.
