How Man Presents Are You Expecting This Christmas?

Lucylover22 · 12-20-2003, 10:24 AM

I'm not really sure, but maybe 20.

My family sucks and they dont give me anything. I dont get anything from my daughter because she's not old enough to go and shop for herself. My mother said when she's big enough to shop herself then that is when I'll start to get gifts from her. Nice, huh?

So a big fat hairy nothing.

I really am not a big Christmas person. At All.

you must get at least 1

Why on earth would I lie? I'd love to get at least 1 present but I dont. My family does not get along, everyone fights so we dont even go to anyone's house. My mother doesnt' cook a dinner, we don't exchange gifts, nothing. My birthday is the same - this year my mother did not even call me and wish me a Happy Birthday. My boss and her husband took me to dinner or I would have sat at work all day alone. Mother's Day? Same thing.

I actually sat and cried last week when I had to put up the Christmas tree because I did not want to. I'm a struggling single mother and making a Christmas even happen for my daughter has been horrible. I hate to sound like Scrooge but I'll just be glad when it's all over with.

Someone asked earlier what would be on yoru Chstimas wish list. I dont even make one up becasue what's the point but I'd love to get the same things that everyone else asks for. I want the FRIENDS DVD Seasons but I can't buy them myself. Chsritmas would be a great time to get them. I've lost 70 pounds so I'd love to gift certificates to buy new clothes. I found a reasonably priced DVD Recorder that I'd love to get too.

The whole thing is just frustrating for me.

Yes but I haven't looked at the site yet. I haev to leave in a couple minutes to work until 2 and then I'm done working until January 5th. I'll look when I get home this afternoon.

.simpson_10. · 12-20-2003, 10:59 AM

ok

Swimfan85 · 12-20-2003, 11:39 AM

I dont think I am expecting very much because I am getting three things that are kinda of expensive (ipod, coach bag, and under armour) but then since my mom has a huge family, I get a bunch of presents from them, and since my dad is Jewish I get Chaunka presents from them too

so the holidays are always a nice time!

Georgia's on my Mind · 12-20-2003, 11:41 AM

nothings better than more.

Tuesday Weld · 12-20-2003, 11:57 AM

Not many,but that's fine with me,I don't want/need a lot of presents.

#1_Nancy_McKeon · 12-20-2003, 01:00 PM

My Dad was here last week and bought me two Sim Expansion packs.

My Mom got me a $400 Chihuahua puppy last night, and I have one other present under the tree.

Other than that one present from my other friend.

I told everyone not to get me anything I'd rather get them stuff, but I guess it doesn't work that way. I would have been just as happy watching everyone open their presents.

Ags2000 · 12-20-2003, 01:09 PM

Not too much this year. Everybody seems to be in a financial bind in my family. So it's just going to be an ld fashioned "You being here is my present" Christmas.
