I forget, isn't Christmas for Australians in the summer or something?

I've said this a few times in threads similar to this, but my birthday is on Christmas Eve and don't get presents at all. I used to get pokemon cards, but no more.


lol communism.

You've been living for 18 years, and you haven't figured out how to react to gifts yet?

best way to react to a gift is counter attack that person with another gift

Miniman I really feel sorry for you dude. Receiving gifts for free totally blows!!! I don't know how you put up with it! And having to say thank you???? What do they think you are, Mother Teresa? It's ridiculous!

You probably are indeed an unthankful prick if you have to fake every reaction to well-meant gifts all the time.

Whoa you guys actually do the same stereotypical stuff families do on TV? Like with a christmas tree in the background, a warm chinmey fireplace, decorations everywhere, christmas carols playing, and everyone's sitting on the floor all happy and smiling at you as you open another gift and find it's another purple sweater?


We have a christmas tree, we have christmas songs playing when we put the tree up, we drink sherry (I have one every night) or baileys.

We stopped doing it as much since I turned 11 though. We still do it, we're just not as interested. It will be starting again soon enough though when my niece reaches an age where she fully understands Christmas.

This has gave me a good idea for a debate: should we tell children Santa Clause exists?

Because I can NEVER react to getting a gift the right way.

I have 2 options:

1. Act really ****ing excited and hug the giver and shit and act like it's a godsend from Jesus himself.

2. Say thanks, act half-interested and move onto the next box. I usually use this one with things like socks.

I either look like an unthankful prick who doesn't appreciate anything or I look like some freak who is super excited over some socks and underwear. The worst part is most of you have some months time between your birthday and Christmas so after either you can say "Phew ok, I don't have to go through that for awhile" but my birthday is November so right after my birthday I have to do the same routine in another month.

So I'm just gonna tell EVERYONE who is thinking about giving me gifts to not even bother and just give me money. Nothing but cold hard cash. So when I get it I can thank them, hug them or whatever and then move on.

And go buy whatever I want. :D

Something similer to this happened to me once, it was christmas and I was opening a present expecting a game or DVD and it turned out that it was... a book. a ****ing book! I'm 12! Why the **** would I want a book!!

So I sort of looked at it and said, urh yeah thanks.
But she took it sarcasticly and started saying things like, "oh yeah, great I spent like, £10 on that you prick!" and that was 1 girlfriend lost.

Oh god ... the pain ... of resisting to ...

Why? Is this merely a test set forth by cruel fate?

If you had chosen to take that book, respect it as a gift and read it, you may have learned quite a lot about Grammar. You would have noticed things such as the correct spelling of "Similar", the correct placement of commas, etc.

But, who needs to know that? Who needs to read books at the age of 12 when you really have nothing interesting going on in your life? What a waste of time, man. She must have expected you to read books, what an idiot. Of course you don't read books, I doubt you even know how to put a DVD in one, right?
Hah, I bet you had the last laugh. Telling all your friends that she bought you a £10 book, even though you can't read.

If it is a test, did I pass?
