xGlowingAngelx Posted December 17, 2006 Report Posted December 17, 2006 I know that kids obviously get a lot more than people my age (20), but I can honestly say I never got as much as some people on here seem to. I'd get one big present and then a lot of smaller things. I don't see the need for loads of expensive stuff - if you get it all in one go, what are you going to get next year?! That is exactly what we used to have. One big present and little mini gifts. I honestly don't know what the hell I am getting this year. Ma asked me to make up a list of things I wanted and then she would surprise me with what she actually buys. So no clue at all. I just hope that my Uncle, who stays for a few days over Xmas, doesn't do what he did last year. After being told not to buy for us, he only went and gave each of us gift cards along with token gifts. I got a big book of photography and a gift card from him. He has been told not to buy this year but he never listens ! Christmas is about being with family and enjoying it (and the food of course!). I grew up with that attitude and when I have kids, I will teach them the exact same thing. I agree, I'll just be glad to have all my family with me.
Pierced Musie Posted December 17, 2006 Report Posted December 17, 2006 The only difference this year is my sister not being around all Christmas day
Mez83 Posted December 17, 2006 Report Posted December 17, 2006 Awww that sucks. I'm not good with change at Christmas. It's just not the same if one of my cousins isn't there. The year I was in Germany for Christmas it was just weird....
xGlowingAngelx Posted December 17, 2006 Report Posted December 17, 2006 That's something I definetly (sp?) couldn't do - Be away from home at christmas. It would be very weird.
Pierced Musie Posted December 17, 2006 Report Posted December 17, 2006 At least she isn't working Xmas Eve and is here overnight and Xmas morning. I couldn't be without my sister then.
Sam =) Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 I get alot at Christmas cos I get my 'Santa' stuff and then stuff from my mum and dad they try and compete with each other.
Mez83 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 I still get stuff from Santa. Me and all the cuzzie's still do. The oldest being 33. I'm almost the youngest. I'm the yougest of this generation. The one younger than me is a year old.
~Rosey~ Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 My mum keeps saying to me "Your only getting one present." The other day I heard her talking on the phone Yes I do evesdrop Apprantly shes got me about 4 home and away books, All saints box set on dvd and something esle. I ant believe its only 1 week away! Am,azig
Mez83 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 I hate knowing what I get for Christmas. It ruin's the surprises. I only know what I'm getting from Mum and Dad. Everything from Joe's still a surprise.
Cal Posted December 18, 2006 Report Posted December 18, 2006 I'm finally in the Christmas mood. About time!
