On the other end of the spectrum, the complete opposite of the awesome Barbie Dream Boat, is probably the lamest gift I ever got at Christmas: a snow shovel. More specifically, a child-sized plastic snow shovel with a special note from Santa telling us to use our new shovels to help out our father. It wasn't the only gift we got that year, thank goodness, but it was pretty ridiculous. I mean seriously, who gives a kid a present that they can only use when doing chores? Thanks, Santa.
