All over the city, Calgarians are waking up in a cold sweat with the realization that they have less than 24 hours to go before Christmas Day.
The house needs to be cleaned before guests arrive, groceries need to be picked up to make the big meal and of course some people still have to finish their Christmas shopping.
There’s also the pressure of finding the perfect gift.
After all, no one wants to spend their holidays in the dog house, because things like ThighMasters for your partner don’t go over very well.
660News hit the streets on Friday morning to see if Calgarians have ever received any gifts that turned them into a grinch.
Socks are a popular choice among Calgarians for the worst gift they’ve ever received.
One man says cleaning supplies and equipment like vacuums are a bad idea, because they’ll go straight to the back of the closet.
One woman says her husband has a penchant for giving her sweaters, which she hardly ever wears.
Another man says his worst Christmas gift was some Old Spice cologne from his mother.
