Christmas Day:Do you feel guilty?

[volvic]

feeling of going downstairs on christmas day and finding a pile of gifts labeled with your name under the tree.

LOL I lost that feeling at 13.
I don't have my presents wrapped maybe only from my grandmother.
And most my presents I get in advance. Either way I care only for my family, not that I'm selfish but there is tooooooooooooo many less fortunate people for me to handle.

Once you get to my age of 16, Christmas just isn't the same anymore. Most of the excitement is gone.

Not sure why other's are saying they don't feel guilty, even alittle bit. When sometimes, other people for christmas, is givin food so they can live for a few more days. Put youself in their place. Maybe you will then.

I don't think you've made much of a point: Why should I feel guilty because I don't care about people who will likely never impact my life?

I don't know about you, but I usually feel pretty damn happy on Christmas morning.

If you've spent more on the gifts for others then they spent on you, would you feel guilty?

 

[DropKick Murphys]

Sometimes I feel a lot of the gift giving that goes on in my family is a waste of money, and feel guilty for that if it was given to me, but I don't feel guilty if it's something I want.

Life's not fair, collect the spoils.

I'm only going to get things I need for Christmas. Hopefully I'll get some good cloths, or something like that. I really don't have any desire to use things strictly for entertainment I don't care about video games and what not anymore.

I actually really do know what you mean and feel the same way if not more. It can be embaressing to me somtimes to have a nice amount of presents. In general I just like having the average amount or maybe even a little less. It's just the way I am.

 

[inpherus]

the whole point is that your parents buy the gifts for you, so when you have kids, you buy it for them, then the rule goes down the family line, to show that you love them.

 

[Anti-Virus]

Nope.

 

[TinyVoices]

I don't care about people that won't impact my life, as blunt as that sounds. I don't really care about Christmas either, but if I can profit from it I guess it doesn't hurt.

i dont really see why I would think of it that way. Its possible but if I really had a problem with it then I would just tell my parents to give the money used beforehand to something more notable. Guilt is avoidable.

i dont get presents under the tree like im 12 anymore lol , i just buy w/e and give to family . im 17 btw lol

 

[bad_moose]

What I meant when I said the under the tree stuff was kind of an exaggeration, I'm sure it doesn't happen to the majority of you.

Thanks for the replies
they are really interesting!

 

[Sephiroth]

well i know but still. Don't you think that people over there don't do the same with their neighbors? it happens everywhere. They might feel guilty because their parents went over their rice budget to get them something.

 

[unknown guest]

I don't feel bad.
I only feel bad once i get it.
I don't normally use it/them.

Then i feel REALLLYYYY Bad.
