lately i've been mad because i have to go hang out with my family over the holidays but that's not the problem. the problem is that we r gonna celebrate christmas and my aunt and uncle r so poor they r getting me cheap stuff.and we're getting them SUPER NICE stuff. so how should i feel???? should i feel grateful for even getting something or angry becasue i'm getting cheap stuff???? all this stuff is making my brain hurt


well thanks for the help peoplez!

thats really shallow.

Christmas is about sharing, and giving what you have. You should be greatful that your getting something from them, especially since theyre so 'poor'.

It's not about what KIND of gift you recieve... you should be happy that you're helping them out. You shouldn't expect a nice gift from them because they can't AFFORD it. You should be thankful that they are ABLE to get you a gift to begin with. Just appreciate what you're given... and be thankful that you are ABLE to give them such nice gifts and that you're not struggling like they are. It's not about what you get... its about the spirit that you're in.

Yup, what they said. I hate spending Xmas with my step family, but I still appreciate everything they do and the like. I just wish my parents weren't going outta town and ditching me at my grandparents house for my vacation, so I can't do JACK SH*T!!! Grrr... be grateful.

o good points u peoplez rock thanks 4 the tips

Lol, thanks, no problem.

wow. at least you are getting gifts. Someone needs a reality check.

Exactly..
Not everybody gets a gift for Christmas.. seriously. Be happy with what you have, for Christ's sake. Who cares about what it is, just be happy you're getting something and that they care about you enough to try and get you something.

you sound really shallow. the whole point of christmas isn't to receive something super nice because you gave someone something super nice. just be happy that you're receiving something. think about how they feel cuz they can't get you something nice.

Sometimes i ask myself if alot of people are in over their heads. Chirstmas is a time for sharing and giving, and not recieving. Its that time of the year to give us the reality check that its not what you get, but what you give. Alot of people around the world lost sight of that "giving" responsibility. Your aunt and uncle may be so poor they get your something "cheap" but you should be thankful for that. THEY ARE SO POOR BUT they STILL ARE GETTING YOU SOMETHING. Does that make sense? They are sacrificing what they have to give to you. Your blessed to be thoguht of and to be sacrificed for, so be thankful of what they give you. Christmas is a time about family, love, giving, and joy... Dont lose sight of it just because the presents you get arent exactly what you want

Jeez u r one ungreatful kid! u shld be happy u even have a gift

Wow.
They're poor... and you should be grateful that you're even GETTING a gift.
If I were going poor, I wouldn't even be getting a gift for my selfish nephew and save it on better things, say... food.
But that's just me.

how old are you?

you're selfish.

be nice folks.. it's christmas..

god.. i miss my bf!!

wow, that's rude they're poor does that make your heart jiggle at all?? i mean...you're lucky you're even getting a present. That's really selfish i mean..Christmas isn't about the presents. Geez. I'm 11...I know that...and you're probably older than me, and you still think Christmas is about the presents? It's about the thought. It's Jesus Christ's birthday, for goodness sake. You're lucky that they thought about you and got you a present when they're poor and could be getting something useful, because really, the way you're acting is wrong.

I'm sorry if this sounds a little harsh...but i'm just appauled

you should understand. it's christmas. think of other people than yourself. that, to me, is pretty hurtful. christmas isn't about getting pretty and expensive gifts. you're lucky that you're even getting presents.
