I used to get about £80 spent on me when I was younger. And I was grateful for that.

Kids these days really don't know how good they've got it.

Congratulations, you have good parents. I was the same as you.

I occasionally got a 'big present', a motorbike for example, but that was more of an investment - and I certainly appriciated that as it got me into trials since I was tiny (my Dad is a big motorbike fan too, so it was a joint hobby).

I never understood parents who just go 'Yeah ok' to anything - the idea of Christmas it seems, lets face it, is to give presents. The idea of a present, or gift, is that it is a gesture, a suprise.

Writing a list or receiving such expensive 'gifts' takes that magic away. When I was little, and I'm sure its the same for the older lot on this forum, I was happy with something small and simple that probably cost about £10. It'd keep me occupied far more than any games console.

The whole hippy thing of moaning about materialism doesn't interest me, but seriously, you're mum is spending thousands of pounds on what is essentially, shite. Clothes, shoes, computer games?

I know some little rich kids whos daddies own companies and such; they're raking in FAR more then £700 a week, but they don't get what you're getting - that way their kids appriciate the value of such items and the work that goes into getting them.

I don't get greedy kids at Christmas. Seriously, what's the point?

The thing I look forward to most on Christmas is the meal and seeing family and having a good day. Presents are another thing you do - which is why I go for novelty and cheap laughs. (Then again, I may just be a cheap skate). But I haven't asked for anything at Christmas since I was 10 or 9 simply because I didn't want anything and don't like making people feel obliged to spend money on me. I think the coolest present(s) I've gotten are off my dad. Instead of getting me anything for the past Christmas + Birthday, he funds my driving lessons + insurance which is way cooler than buying me a heap of shit I don't really care about.

We get one of these every year. It's kinda boring really - It's pretty twattish to be some spoilt smug teenage bitch bragging about what they're going to get, but the following comments (I only ever get some driftwood and Christmas dinner consists of rice and cabbage) are almost as annoying. In conclusion - you're all twats :D

Use the search if you want to see a whole load of jealous / smug bitching.
