Annoying

[Alkaz]

I find it really annoyign when people say christmas is just a thing to get us to spend money and is too over commercialised. All the people that seem to say that expect their parents to spend 100's if not 1000's on them. They all seem to want computers, tv's, ipods, consoles etc.

Hypocrits muchly? x

Im getting a tv, Im trying to limit like a few years ago I would have got 800 quid spent on me easily, now I know with the credit crunch and stuff I'm just going to try and help my mum and dad out.

The TV itself is nearing £300.
I know thats alot for some people but my friends and such are way spolit, one of them is getting a 16GB iPhone, 3 Airsoft Guns and a Laptop which totals up to £900.

this is the first year that i dont actually want anything for christmas lol. cuz ive got everything ive wanted, so no point asking 4 things which r like not needed.

way spoilt compared to your £800 that you wanted?

[PaulMacC]

Im not getting £800, I mean when I was 9,10 I would have got spoilt like that but now that Im older I realise what my mum and dad go through to get stuff so I really get 1 main present a year and I try to limit it to around £200-300.

[Alkaz]

I meant, you said what you want was around £800. And still £200-£300 is alot of money when you think about it, its not actually celebrated, its just a pressie frenzie.

No, I said "Im trying to limit like a few years ago I would have got 800 quid spent on me easily", A few years ago when I was 9 or 10 I would have got 800 quid spent on me for nothing really but now Im older I understand the value of money and I know £300 is a lot of money for some people but it really cant be done now, I'll take it in to consideration next year when Im picking a present.
