Christmas Gifts Gone Bad

The holiday rush is now over and things have settled down. I hope it was an awesome holiday season for everyone. It was great for us. We made some amazing memories.

As parents, during Christmas time, we try so hard to make our children as happy as possible. We ask what they want and try our best to grant their request. We always have great intent, but have you ever had a Christmas gift gone bad? Well, let me tell you my story. My son DJ, almost 2 yrs old, loves ducks. When we see ducks outside, he is always making the quacking sounds. He smiles, points and says, “Duck, quack, quack, quack!” So I bought him a quacking push duck from Wal-Mart. I was so excited for him to open it and just knew he was going to love it.

He rips the wrapping paper off and to my surprise, tears and screams of fears and disappointment wail out from my little boy. I was shocked. My husband thought it was hilarious because I bragged so much about how I knew I had the best gift for DJ. Well, it was a total epic fail. I’m not sure why he was so scared of the quacking duck, but now his sisters use it against him. If DJ is doing something they don’t like, they tell him, “I’m going to get the duck!” He immediately straightens up, as he yells, “No duck!!” 😂 It’s so bad, we have to keep the duck in the garage, because if he sees it, he’s running. It’s actually kind of funny. I thought I had the perfect gift, but boy was I wrong. I surely won’t be buying him any ducks for his second birthday!! Lol.

Has this ever happened to you guys? Have you had a gift that you were excited about that turned out to be a huge flop? Let me know of your experience . Comment below and tell me about your gift gone bad.
