Wow, just wow. Sorry, but I just do not think there is any excuse what so ever for that kind of behavior. I have had similar happen and it was the last gift they ever got from me. No one, not even a father has the right to behave that way.
In my family it did not matter what you were given, you were grateful. If you honestly did not like it, the giver never knew. My family has a lot of gifted artists and craftsmen in it and I think that comes from the appreciation we got from each other.
The last few Christmas's my kids and us (mom and Dad) have made a pact to only give handmade gifts for the big gifts. Either something we make ourselves or buy from a crafts person. We do not do it to save money, we do it to make Christmas more special. To give a part of yourself is the greatest gift anyone can ever give.
