Okay. This is decidedly wrong, but "limerick" is my answer.

Here's why.

An arm is a limb. First syllable, lim.

An old Christmas gift is "myrrh", one of the oldest Christmas gifts ever. So myrrh. Lim myrrh.

Then, for the third syllable, I would hate to stack hay, so I would certainly say "ick."

Therefore, we have LimbMyrrhIck, or, as it would be pronounced, Limerick.

Well done Zex!
That's correct except for the third syllable. Look up rick in the dictionary.
