Christmas, that time of year when we all scramble to buy the perfect gifts and pretend we actually like our in-laws. But what happens when the gift you receive isn’t quite what you expected? Sometimes it’s pearls, sometimes it’s socks, and sometimes it’s… well, you’ll see.

Let’s dive into this festive tale of love, betrayal, and sweet, sweet revenge. Spoiler: It involves some serious bathroom humor.

The Gift That Keeps on Giving…to Himself

Picture this: It’s 23 years ago, and our story’s heroine is accustomed to receiving less-than-stellar gifts from her husband. He had a knack for buying things he secretly wanted for himself. This particular year, she comes home to find a massively wrapped box, a whole ten days before Christmas. Intrigued, she waited until Christmas Eve to open it.

Feeling a twinge of suspicion, likely due to past experiences, she wasn’t overly excited. Nonetheless, she played along and waited for the big day.
