Stop it. Just stop. I am no longer letting myself be affected by your complaining: “Boo hoo, I have no money!” You went to TO last week, and there were so many Christmas presents under the tree I could hardly get in the room. If you are low on money then STOP SPENDING IT ON STUPID FUCKING PRESENTS NO ONE NEEDS! I love that you were thinking of me, but no one, NO ONE, needs three key chains. Stop buying me stupid crap because you like to have me unwrap things. I felt so bad for you a few months ago when you complained to me… I cried for you when I got home. I wasted so much energy on you… —If I get one more ugly hand-made scarf I will rip out my eye balls

just be fucking glad you got something, there are a lot of people out there that got nothing or next to it. you are a spoiled piece of shit in my book, and i hope next year you get fucking nothing, you whiney little bitch.
Death be not proud, but really, auto-erotic asphyxiation with an ugly hand-made scarf is one of the least dignified ways to go.
Donate the ugly-scarf to Value Village. Or give it to some sad sap on the streets.
You are close enough with that person to exchange gifts and yet have no guts to tell that person “don’t buy me another key chain, and stop wasting your money”?
Probably the greatest gift you can give that person is your honesty, not an anonymous internet bitch.
I’m not sure what you can do with extra key chains besides giving them to kids who get excited by that kind of stuff… but I’m sure you could give the hand-made scarves to a shelter so that someone who is cold has something to keep them warm.
JUst refuse the gift…politely.
IT probably won’t work until they see you relabel the gift & give it back to them !
Unfortunately so many people have been brainwashed by the in your face commercialism of this holiday, they really can’t help themselves . Even though the whole shopping, wrapping & hardest part PAYING for it is hurting them mentally, & physically, & it sounds like for this person (like many others) financially as well !
SO its up to you to get them to pull it back ! No gifts except food & drink accepted or given. IT’ll take a couple of years but they will eventually get it & you’ll be doing a true christmas spirit act… you’ll be helping someone.
Merry xmas.
blahblahblah YES we KNOW, More, you don’t celebrate xmas and you’re so happy and so much better than everyone else who does BLAHBLAHBLAH.
WE GET IT.
That’s the beauty of having the freedom to choose. To celebrate or not to celebrate. To each his zone.
OP, other people’s spending habits are primarily their concern, no need to share. Next time your friend cries the got-no-money blues, point out they they alone make these choices and that you don’t want to know about it. Mature people keep their financial business private. Your frustration about the gifts is understandable. Perhaps agreeing not to exchange gifts in future would resolve this. Agree instead to donate to a charity that will provide food for those who will die but for want of a crust of bread. Would not Christ prefer this in celebration of his birth as opposed to useless keychains etc?

FUCK OFF
I celebrate christmas, I just don’t do commercialism ,period ,BIG G0D DAMNED DIFFERENCE.
Just because PRESENTS are the only real reason you are into christmas, does not, cannot or will not change the FACT christmas can be celebrated without presents of the store bought kind !
Its not surprising that someone like yourself, with IMO a limited intelligence cannot grasp that concept…but then I’m used to that. I have met many religious people who consistantly tell me I am an atheist because I DON’T BELIEVE THEIR RELIGIONS/BELIEF’S ARE VALID….how religion & God can be totally exclusive has completely escaped me…& anyone else with reason !
So merry christmas …I didn’t get you a present, but on the bright side I’m not accepting any of your worthless shit anyhow ! (that includes your BS)
Ooooh seems like I hit a nerve there, bud.
“Or give it to some sad sap on the streets.”
You could have just asked the OP for one.
“hit a nerve” I suppose your out of context stupidity did exactly that.
Even though anyone who visits various forums on the net see’s your type of idiocy quite often…what is it with people who take a couple of words or a sentence in a post completely out of context & rail against it ?
WHy are there so many people who are just so fucking dense…I can’t think of a kinder descriptive word… so dense that if you disagree with their religious views ‘you’re obviously an atheist’. Or if you are ,like myself, sickened by what christmas has become, an over commercialized SHIT holiday, one where you are bombarded for months with advertisment buy …Buy …. B U Y & if you haven’t got a clue ?!?!?!?! GIVE GIFT CARDS !
Where news reports of parking lot thefts of presents, people lined up for food, food banks running out of food & people are wasting MILLIONS of dollars on wrapping paper you throw out ! ! !
The pressure is ridiculous, the whole multiple gift idea is WAY OVER THE TOP …yet the sheeple keep lining up
But when someone who is trying to get back to what christmas was what they remember when they were young, (like myself) the get togethers starting before christmas eve, good food, home made candies & treats, lots of great foods ,family back together…. spending time with them & friends, gifts were given to children, adults rarely gave presents to any but the one(s) closest to their hearts…., but to be that today
YOU OBVIOUSLY HATE CHRISTMAS.
Well to you Prettykitty & all the rest who feel that way
Fuck that attitude & those who have it are IMO the epitome of stupid. Enjoy the pressure, the rat race & the bills, while you completely eviscerate what christmas is really suppose to be & mean. Merry Christmas ,Best Wishes to one & all & Joy to the World !
what if all those presents were things from the dollar store in nice boxes? Or gifts handmade with love? And what if that trip to TO was something saved for meticulously over the course of a year? Or maybe… just maybe.. this person IS hard up for cash and christmas is the ONE FUCKING TIME they can live with happiness and plenty?
Sounds like you know this person so you’d know better than i would… But no sentence regarding a gift given in the spirit of anything should start with “I love that you were thinking of me BUT…” I mean.. gauche much?
And if you don’t like their bitching, either call them on it or move on. You do your share of bitching i’m sure and there are a ton of poor souls out there who probably think YOU have a horseshoe up your ass. So.. you know.. take the horseshoe out of your ass and either deal with it or move on. It’s not worth ruining your holiday, eh?
