It turns out Sarah Silverman can be a bit of a Grinch when it comes to Christmas presents.

During a visit to "The Late Late Show with James Corden," the 45-year-old comedian revealed what happened after her boyfriend, actor Michael Sheen, got her a thoughtful, but terrible holiday present. (Silverman is Jewish, but it appears she celebrated some form of Christmas holiday with Sheen).

"He came in he had a huge present and a bunch of other little presents and then he's like 'Open the big one first!' And I opened it and it was a drum set," said Silverman on the show. "Younger me would've just bit the bullet and been like, 'A drum set!' and set it up and had it in my apartment for the rest of my life. But I live in a tiny apartment -- it's three rooms -- and I couldn't fake it. I was like [sad, upset voice] 'A drum set ... '"

While Corden oohed at the prospect of her not liking the gift, Silverman explained how thoughtful Sheen's gift was, which just ended up making things worse.

Watch the entire exchange below:

To be fair, Silverman does live in New York City, where space is sparse and highly coveted.

Silverman caused Christmas controversy just a few days ago with a tweet about Jesus that many found offensive.

We can't wait to see what she does (or gets!) next holiday season.
