When Christmas Present Giving Goes Horribly Wrong (VIDEO)

WATCH: Christmas Gift Disappointment

We’ve all been there. Another pair of grandma’s home knitted socks, PJ’s three sizes too small or a hideous scarf best suited for the dog basket…

But imagine what it’s like, as a child, to discover that that dolls house or the monsters truck you asked Santa for oh-so-kindly turns out to be a dressing gown or worse – a DVD.

Take a look at our pick of the best Christmas Day tantrums which will surely remind us that it’s not about the presents, but the thought… isn’t it?
