I'm a terrible father...

I got this as a prank to my 14 year old this year:

Of course, once you open it, the inside flaps all say "Pranked you! Your real gift is inside!" so he'll go from disappointment to excitement.

Nope, clothes are going in there

I had forgotten these gag boxes existed.
I like this one.

While my wife is enjoying day 7 of her extended birthday drinking fest in the Dominican Republic, I took both kids to the darts league Xmas party tonight. I left earlier than usual but before I did, I opened my secret Santa present for all to see.

It was a Holiday Jumper that says "JINGLE MY BALLS" with a motif of reindeer fucking.

I know that. Every year for the past 8 years or so I have gotten socks for christmas and I've always needed them. I don't know how I go through socks so fast but at least I know I am not going to run out of them.

The perfect christmas gift has gone from stuff I really want to things I need but don't buy because I I think I can do without.

I always ask for socks. I don't think I've ever actually bought socks for myself, I rely on christmas to restock on them.

Mr. Z loves getting crazy socks for Christmas. It's the only part of his work clothes that isn't strictly regulated by this job. The brighter, the better.

I love socks. Fuzzy ones in particular. Even with the warm climate I love wearing fuzzy socks around the house.

If I knew enough about mechanics and electronics, I'd design a computer controlled knitting machine to make custom socks with whatever pattern you want. Then I'd set up a business to let people to upload and buy custom-designs. I'd call it "Socks to be You".
