Annoying

^ Or you find people like they are the most spolit children in the land.

I normally just ask for some clothes, nothing big normally. My dad doesn't have much money so I just ask for one small thing from him at Christmas cause I don't want him to think he has to get it.
My aunt and uncle are proper rich, no seriously (http://business.timesonline.co.uk/to...cle3762266.ece) but I don't ask a lot from them because they pay for me going to the school I go to.

Yeah that too lol. I cant stand people like that cause it shows in even the smallest things, theres this guy Ive become mates with whilst at Uni and his mum and dad give him a grand every month :S Yet he is the tightest git Ive ever met, its really weird.

Ye its amazingly wierd.

dude, im only getting £50 worth of stuff this year.

i've had to save up from my paper round job and buy my own present lmao.
thats how tight my family is atm. so i'll just bank w/e i get from now on.

Last year I got my laptop (£1100) and my iPhone (about £300 and £45 monthly) aswell as some JBL dome speakers to go with my laptop (about £100 I think) so I did get quite a lot. This year I thought I would help my parents out with the credit crunch so I'm not asking for much this year. I only want a Pioneer music system in my car which shouldn't cost anymore than £500 if I buy it from the right place.

Ridiculous ^ :P

I prefer to give than to receive... I've literally had to think hard on what I want this year! Athough that's made me excited now :D

Christmas to me is just a time to give and receive gifts, and to socialise with friends and family. The latter is the more important part though, I wouldn't care much about the presents, the meal is the bit that does it for me :P

I dont really understand the argument here, if your offered an expensive gift, why say no? they wouldnt off offered otherwise, mum is getting me a 52inch plasma to go in my room and dad is buying me a moped. Although, theese are joint birthday and xmas pressants as my b-day is 20th decemeber so they spoil me rotten over the whole of christmas.

I always get one main present then some little silly presents. This year I have spent a lot on my parents though and have even been told by my mum to not buy anything else for them :8
