im sorry but I dont understand why people get so spoiled at Christmas

I got 2 pairs of socks haha though i’d have gratefully given them up to be with family for the holidays ;p

Agreed. I also don’t get why people gripe over not having the fanciest phone in general or how they talk about having to have the most technology they can on their one phones. I’m, 26. I don’t have a CD player in my car, have never owned an MP3 player, iPad, etc. My phone doesn’t have internet on it. I can make and take calls, send and receive texts, take pictures and videos and make voice recordings and send them off of my phone and I am very happy with my phone. It does it what I need it too.

Anywho, yeah, the most expensive thing I was thinking about putting on a list this year was a larger skillet style pan….a saute pan, but I decided not too because they don’t seem to run less than $30. I can manage with the slightly smaller one that I have. I was SHOCKED when my mom got me a brand new microwave. I know she spent at least $75 on it. Mine died a few months ago but I had just planned on getting another used one from Goodwill or a garage sale or something like that. Technically, the most expensive thing I actually asked for was a DVD or CD…maybe a gift card. I don’t ask for amounts on gift cards so it’s up to the person getting it…which is usually no more than $25. I am grateful for what I get. I am insanely grateful for that microwave.

I’d rather just spend time with my family and friends…and pets and give to others than receive things myself. I love seeing the smiles when you’ve given someone the perfect gift or something they really like.

I didnt get anything but im thankful I spent with with my mom and two brothers. ♡
