Getting underwear. Nuff said...
I remember as a kid you always got one of three presents each year - coloring books, underwear, or soap on a rope.
I don't know why it was my family's favorite thing to give but someone in the group always got underwear or soap on a rope when you got older. It became so known that every Christmas when we gathered together, everyone kind of got the 'evil eye' look as if to silently ask which one of us was going to pen the underwear today. With every present, someone in the background would yell "It's underwear!" in hopes that they were the ones opening it and not them.
The underwear and soaps varied every year with every person. Some people got G-strings and some got old lady underwear. Men were usually given floral scented soaps and women were given he-man cologne scents. I'm not sure if we were backwards or just mislabeled the boxes...
I got the coloring books for a few years as a kid and even got the underwear one time when I was older. They were old lady panties. I think they were pink and green.
