One Christmas, my youngest brother, probably about 8 or 9, got another brother, who had just hit puberty, a syringe -- the kind with a plunger, no needle. We all looked at it in bewilderment until the little guy said "It's a zit popper." He had seen some friend's older sibling using one and thought it would be nice to get one for his newly-pimply brother.
A friend of ours was given a musical cake slice. And without the excuse of the giver being American.

Whoa... and I thought my family was strange!
Jesus. These people could star in an SNL skit - "A Passive/Aggressive Family Christmas" or something.
