Surprisingly that sounds almost exactly like how my day went.

I did however get one gift and that was a jar of jelly beans.

Haha. I bought my dad a giant bag of beef jerky and he bought me a box of those assorted Chocolates. Other than that nothing big and expensive. Enjoy your Jelly Beans man!

I hate getting gifts The only thing I ever want every year that I would consider a gift is to visit my friend for the whole winter break. No family obligations.

But, apparently this gift that I request is so difficult for my parents that they much rather get me a new laptop then to let me be free for a whole month.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

OP, you're awesome.

Agreed. We made a no gifts pact this year and all we are going to do is hang out as a family.


I don't need a pile of crap to have a good time.

I'm a stubborn guy. I love to argue my opinion, but unlike others, I'll try to see your side of the problem. I'm a triathlete, with a very heavy empephis on the swimming bit. Also, don't hate on the ~Quinton~ at the end of my posts. Why are you still reading this? #creeper #hashtagcashmoney for hashtaging on Bungie.net

I always feel horrible(but extremely grateful) when my parents buy me gifts, because I know money is tight and what not.

Just wanted to say you're lucky OP. I come from a wealthy family, always get what I want for the most part. Including this year.

And I hate it. I envy you, OP. My family doesn't understand me, I feel like an outcast. We have no common interests, hobbies, or anything like that. I feel alienated. Due to a recent argument, I lost much of my network of friends and have had to find others to hang out with, some of which I don't like at all.

But I'm so lonely.

-blam!- christmas.

And call me sad, pathetic, or whatever. But it would really make my Christmas if someone on here was going through the same thing as me, or at least understands. Hell, as long as someone listened to what I said, that would make me a bit happier.

Nah. I'm happy for people who got gifts they wanted. There's nothing wrong with receiving or giving gifts

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

I feel grateful for all the gifts I recived.

Welcome.
You have just entered my mind. Please sign the contract before continuing further into this black hole to acknowledge I am not at fault if any mental/physical damage is caused to you whilst viewing my history. If any damage to yourself is caused, please call your whaambulance for advice.

Every year I generally decide what I wanted for Christmas. But for the past two Christmas' I decided not to get anything because i'm pretty happy with what I have at the moment.

Simple Plan for ever! Yes I'm a emo and I don't care what you say. I love all my friends and my guitars! Emo4life! <3

I have to say, I'm quite impressed. Usually if someone didn't get what they wanted, they'd complain. Congratulations on you, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. For Christmas now, I'm just focusing on things I need for my education. Which is mainly just camera gear and maybe new stock of books and things. I'm happy with everything I have right now.
