Post X'mas flea market

After the cheery greetings, yummy log cakes *burps* and clinking of glasses, you begin to unwrap the pressies. What lurks beneath the pretty wrappers might jus dampen your holiday spirits a wee bit.

Inspired by 98.7 FM’s Muttons in the Morning – X’mas Flea Market - where you can SMS to swap your crap gift for someone else’s, I’ve decided to compile my own list too.
