Would you pretend to like it or confront her about the ill-fitting and off-target gift? Our protagonist here faced this exact situation, and let’s just say things took a few unexpected turns.

But wait, there’s more! She finds out about his story being shared and bombards him with texts, so he blocks her. Now, let’s see what the internet thinks of this wild Christmas gift rollercoaster…
