so christmas has passed, and now its time to send thankyou notes to all those unwanted relatives youd forgotten you even had, and now youre being forced against your will to waste your valuable time to write stupid notes to them. sure, gift cards ar always appreciated, but i dont want to have to pretend to like the stupid presents, like hideoous initial purses, and epescially not write the notes the day after christmas. theyre such a pain in the ass. do they piss anyone else off to?

now i know you have to write them, its just a pain. i actually have stuff to do. i was supposed to be home an hour ago, but my stepmom is being a bitch and making me write this crap, so by the time i get home, my mom is going to be mad. its not necessary to write them the day after. it was very nice of them, but...
oh i dont know, im not so whiney and bratty as i was acting earlier now. sorry. i was pissed. nothing is sounding the way i meant it. i was mad at the way my stepmom was acting, and so i made a thread about it. why? i dont know. because im a dumbass. |

usually i call and chat with them ask htem about their holidays, how they're doing just for a minute or two, then thankt hem for the gift. it saves me the trouble of having to write those dreaded thank you notes, and it means more to them!

Only my parents get my gifts, so I never had to write a 'thank you' note in my life. QUOTE(tweeak @ Dec 26 2004, 11:12 AM) i really dont appreciate them that much Then give them back or give them to charity. God don't be so whiny. It's the thought that counts and no matter how much you hate it, appreciate it. At least your family remembers you and takes the time to choose something. Jeez. |

We've never written " thank-you " notes..
To those relatives that live 10,000 miles away, we send cards. We send cards... they send cards.. To those relatives who've given presents to us personally, well... I'll tell you when it happens cause these past 13 years, none of my relatives have given me a present.. not that they don't like us or anything, but they all lives across the world or either 5 hours away... |

It's okay. It's nice to rant sometimes.
 I do it often. Haha. Anywho, I don't have to write thank you cards to anyone...the only presents I ever get are from my immediate family and the grandparents...

I don't think you "have" to give out thank you cards for Christmas. A simple thank you is good enough

I don't send or write thank you cards, I call them up long distance on the telephone. This year I only got one present from one of my relatives, so it saves me phone calls.

I didn't get any presents from anyone other than my mom, so I don't really have to deal with that, but that would definately suck
