If I have to stay at home, snow, most defiantly. It's pretty and it's a good excuse to drink hot chocolate.
If I have to drive somewhere, I'd prefer it to rain.

Ummmm I would love a great digital camera like my mom's (the one that I abscond with when I go places to take all my pics with)
or a really great-looking winter coat (the winter coat I have now is dark purple and frumpy which is not working for me lol)

I can't think of anything in particular, so must not have gotten anything horrible, but I used to get socks/underwear every year from my grandma. That seems to be more of a present for my parents, not me. She meant well though.

Nothing!

Yep, there were a couple of times (growing up in a foster home) when I got nothing, nada, zip...

...It kinda traumatized me, but I'm over it now (sorta)

worst present?

my grandma bought me underwear,
yeah it was bad cuz then my aunt asks "oh let me see what grandma got you"...you could see how that could be bad

oh but the 2nd worst would be when my aunt got my sises and I fake barbie stuff
The stuff said "Berbie" instead of "Barbie", but oddly enough it took us about 2 wks to notice that

and another up there would be one christmas my aunt (different aunt)
bought everyone in the family "Remember Micheal" t-shirts and dogtags (my cousin/her son Michael had died that spring)
That was a very saddening gift to open (to be reminded of your cousin's death on christmas eve is not fun)
