Remember when you were young and hated to get clothes for Christmas? You would get a Christmas present out from underneath the tree and it would be wrapped so beautifully with bright paper and lots of shiny ribbon, and you could not wait to unwrap it. You just knew it had to be that special toy you wanted all year!
You would tear into the paper and open the box and see that it was not the toy you so desired but something else...clothes!! You would try not to act disappointed but where was the toy you wanted so badly???
I could get clothes anytime of the year...it was Christmas!!! I wanted toys...not clothes!! I guess that was bad of me seeing as this was the 60's and there were so many starving children in Cambodia that had no clothes, and one had to be thankful for what they were given or so I tried to think that way, but socks???
So Socks was always my "Worst Christmas Present Ever"!! I always got them every year ...no matter what...socks! The irony of it is that I am much, much older now and want socks for Christmas!! Go figure!!
Now it is your turn to create a art piece depicting your "Worst Christmas Present Ever"!
I cannot wait to see what you will come up with!!
Here are my
"Worst Christmas present Ever"
Creations!

I enjoyed this one. My actual worst present ever was a package of paper doilies from a family member. My sister-in-law got the same gift, and we just looked at each other. And thanked the gifter enthusiastically. lol My Worst Present artwork is here in My Art Bag:

PS - I love your "Socks for Presents" creations! It's a funny story to tell years later! I've never gotten socks for a present, ever... But I don't remember ever getting toys for presents except for Birthdays and Christmas. So twice a year I would get some of the toys I was wishing for. 🥰
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work, love your socks. And a fun Challenge. Merry Christmas Everyone.
