Elusive Presents
I'm not really a present getter. I think that when someone gets something for me they are just wasting their money.
I looovvvee to give presents though, partly because I love to see peoples faces when they open it, and partly so I can show how much I love someone.
I can remember from the time I was little little little, I always felt this huge letdown on Christmas morning because I never got what I wanted!
Now that Im older, I just buy myself whatever I want whenever I want it. My mom gets annoyed cause my dad does this too and she never knows what to get us.
I finally explained something to her.
I have never gotten a present from my mom that she actually thought about before getting me. She almost always gets me a scarf, forgetting I hate them and never wear them. My mom is the type to wrap up anything and everything and call it a gift.
That hurts me because I dont care about getting something. I just would like to open a present and see that it was something I have wanted, or needed, and didn't ask for. Someone just noticed, and got it for me.
Gifts for me are an expression of how well you know a person. I give good presents because I want to show Im a good friend.
So what I want is a well thought out present that I didnt know was coming. That would make Christmas all the merrier for me.
Now dont feel sorry for me. I just got myself $150 USD worth of books. So ill be good for a bit. :)
