I didn’t ask for anything this year so I’m pretty grateful I got this. Most of the gifts people gave me I needed.

My “parents” (I live with my grandma) do have enough money to spend on Christmas. I heard a conversation of her and my uncle talking about how they collectively spent $1,000 on Christmas presents just for my cousins (3) and still had loads of money left over for other presents. (Which I never got or were for someone else.)

You can’t call me a brat when you literally got almost $2,000 on Christmas presents this year. You’re spoiled, no one should have that much spent on just themselves.

The gifts I picked out (if you would’ve read the stuff I said) costed relatively cheap. (144 Hz monitor for $100, Steam gift card for like $20-$50, Scuf Controller for $120.) I got an iPhone 6 one year and it was more than all of these things. You literally made yourself look uneducated by assuming things you have no clue about without reading half of the things I wrote, you spoiled brat.

I’m not writing letters to Santa, I was just comparing the two. I literally gave my gram & aunt a list saying what I want so they could get a general idea on what to buy, which they completely didn’t.

If you would’ve also read what I wrote, you would’ve seen that I wasn’t frustrated at not getting anything, I was disappointed. I was only angry once the “big gift” that i got (a $100 chair) came broken and unusable.

Maybe learn what you’re talking about before you speak, you can go “fuck off” as you so clearly said.

If you have more than your core family (parents + siblings) living in your house and it's not apart of your tradition (like Japan), then it can be safe to presume that maybe your family isn't as 'rich' as you believe they are. Also, if they spent $1000 amongst 3 of your cousins, that's roughly $333.33 per person and by the looks of what you said you got, you got a lot more than that.

And if you don't like your clothes, just politely explain to whoever bought them that they are not your taste or you already have them and if they still have a receipt.

Also, stop acting like such a brat. One thing on my Christmas list was a new crash cymbal for my kit. Did I get it? No. Am I happy with everything I did get? Absolutely, what I got was fantastic. If you really want what was on your list, rather than complaining, just go buy it with your own money.

But there is a point... How would you feel if you just got something random that you didn't want for Christmas when you said specifically what you wanted? It was basically just a big "fuck you" from my grandma and aunt, as I gave them a list that contained what I wanted, the price, where to find it, and when it would be shipped. I put a lot of effort into listing everything they needed to buy me any of the gifts, and it ends up with me only getting one of them.

The main reason why I'm upset is because of how the entire thing actually went down. I had to haul all of my family's gifts (which are kept at my house) down into people's cars, as well as under my tree (since people gather here to open gifts) as well as watch them open it. I had to clean up after everyone after everyone left, and then wait for my gifts anxiously as I was so excited.

I get my gifts and was left more disappointed than anything, I wasn't frustrated yet. My grandma hyped up my final gift (the chair) in the garage as something that "I've always wanted" and how "I'll really like it". I go into the garage and search for the gift, find it behind a very, very narrow walkway in my garage, and then have the squeeze the chair through that. (which they never did, they assembled the chair after they got through the walkway) After I get this chair through the walkway, I realize it's broken. I go inside and fix it (sort of) and sit down on it. It was so uncomfortable and so, so small compared to my other chair that I physically can't use it. After doing all of this and realizing it was for not, I got very, very frustrated and just sat down on my chair I've had for a month.

Hopefully, my message above shows you now fully as to why I'm frustrated with my gift. Sure, the thought is what matters, but it doesn't really seem like my grandma and aunt put any thought into what I actually wanted. If that's how things go, what is the point of making a list in the first place?

Did you buy your family stuff?

Did you buy your family stuff?

He probably didn't even thank them for what he did get.

It's "Boxing Day" now here in Australia, however, I did get a few gifts for Christmas.

In total I received the following (this is from the family members I visited).

• A Hand-Made Quilt.
• A Turtle Necklace.
• A "Skins" Compression Tee-Shirt (For Basketball).
• A Christmas stocking full of candy.
• A "Can Cooler" gadget.

(I sold a few collectibles on E-Bay last week, so I managed to get a bit of money to spend on gifts.)
This didn't rack together a lot of money, however enough to buy some little gifts for the family.
Some of my personal favorites include:

• A "DeadPool" Mug.
• "Star Wars" alarm clock.
• A few gift cards.
• We donated a few old clothes to my nearest Salvation Store. This was something that we always do every Christmas, so this includes items such as clothes, kitchenware, women sanitary products and some canned foods.

Christmas is the spirit of giving and receiving, I am 100% thankful for all the gifts I received. I hope everyday has an amazing Christmas =)

I know it's gonna sound really bratty or horrible when I say this but I'm actually frustrated with what I got rather than happy.

I made a list for Christmas (as most people do) saying what to get so the person buying the gifts as "Santa" knows what to buy. I made this list, and I talked with "Santa" about it (a.k.a my mom/grandma) & I showed them the list like the day or so after Black Friday.

My list contained a few items, (which weren't even pricy) such as the Nintendo Switch, Steam Giftcards, 144 Hz monitor, a Scuf controller for my PS4, a headset (that I ended up buying. "Santa" knew this.) and a few other bland gifts such as just "gift card".
My list also contained links to each of the items I wanted.

I opened my gifts a few minutes ago and I literally got one item off of my list. (Which I get every year.) In total, I received:

$20 in Steam Giftcards.
Box of Clothes.
Box of Clothes.
Box of Clothes.
A chair, which I never even mentioned that I wanted and came unusable for me. (I also already have a chair that is completely fine.)

I know it's better than what others got, and that it's the "thought that counts", but I don't understand why my "Santa" just blatantly ignored my list. It makes it seem like they didn't even think to read my list in the slightest, and that really makes me unhappy

You sound like a spoiled bratt

wow, came here for wholesome content this thread did not deliver :tdown:
I got these shoes I’m happy, my sister got to fly to texas to see her best friend so they didn’t have as much to spend on presents for me this year but it was awesome to see my sisters reaction. Merry Christmas!
