Same. My aunt got me a costume jewelry bracelet when she had a long list of people to buy for. I wore it until I grew up and it no longer fit. I still have it though. Never gave it up or threw it away because it reminds me of her and she's been gone for some years now.

The entitlement evades me. In my early 30s, single mother of 2 couldn't afford a Christmas tree or decorations.

This is my first ever stress free Christmas. Every year ( I'm 74 now) I would go above and beyond to give my family and loved ones a wonderful Christmas. Every year I would have to go to my room and cry. Even the slightest remark and I would crumble. I started having panic attacks just before Thanksgiving. This year I said "No!" to the baking, cooking, gift buying, decorating, etc. that made my holidays hell. This year I put up minimal decor, purchased gift cards and ordered catering. It was a great Christmas Eve. Today I'm sitting on my butt eating leftovers and visiting with my family that couldn't be here last night. I have never felt so peaceful holiday time. I plan on doing the same next Christmas.

[@judycroteau482]

I feel your pain. I used to spend a lot of thought, money, and time to make sure that everyone in my family and extended family (22 or more - adults and children) had exactly what they hoped for every Christmas, often multiple gifts for each one, including hosting and cooking for everyone. And most years I received absolutely nothing in return. Although they would give gifts to each other, just none to me. So I too can remember one year sneaking off to my bedroom to have a little cry and feeling very unloved and unimportant too. So I decided to just stop trying to make everyone’s Christmas special. Now I just give small gifts to the little kids and to my Mom. I do give money to the older children’s mothers and let them buy their gifts or give the cash to them. The adults (siblings, nieces, nephews etc. over 18 yo) no longer receive gifts from me. Nor do I host the big celebrations anymore. Simpler celebrations at someone else’s house, which is far less exhausting. I have finally learnt that if I don’t expect anything then my feelings don’t get hurt and it is a welcome surprise when I do receive a gift. 💝

[@anditeaspoon6118]

My mom goes overboard with Christmas, I'm convinced gift giving is her love language, but I feel so bad too because money has been super super tight for my husband and me. So, she didn't get nearly what she deserves, she's helped us so much, and I feel like she doesn't get that appreciation around the holidays. But, hopefully this year money will turn around and I'll get to surprise her with a trip to a place she's been wanting to go. I just want her to feel special and to know everyone loves her too.

@@anditeaspoon6118 Your Mom probably would be happy with even a small gift like a pair of gloves, a plant, or some perfume. You don’t need to wait until you can afford a big expensive gift.

[@jk3mom]

I won a turkey breast one year for Thanksgiving. Was so grateful I planned a dinner to share with neighbors. Made stuffing, bacon smothered green beans and brownies to add to it. One of the neighbors I invited made the exact thing I had made and brought it too. Her stuffing only had salt for the seasoning and it was inedible. The green beans were canned and the bacon just boiled in the green bean water so it was soggy bacon in overcooked gray green beans. Nobody ate her stuffing because it was like eating spoonfuls of salt. Never understood why she had to make the exact thing I did. If she had chosen something different we could have had a diverse feast. If I win it again, I'll probably make another neighbor dinner but won't invite her.

[@jk3mom]

One year after I kicked my ex abusive husband out, things were tight for Christmas. My sister took me to a food bank and not only did they give me food, they gave me one present for each of my children. I had remained stoic through the physical abuse refusing to cry or whine. When they handed me presents for my sons, I burst into tears of gratitude and joy. What my ex couldn't do with his fists was accomplished with an act of kindness.

My adult son is not now nor has he ever been what I would call "entitled", but this happened this year and made me literally LOL so I decided to share it. Back when he was still living in the house with me, I worked as an area manager for Payless Shoesource. I had always had a habit of when socks went on clearance that coincided with a BOGO sale, I would buy a bunch of them at incredibly cheap prices throughout the year. At the end of the year most people inevitably got a box full of various socks each year for Xmas among their other gifts. Nobody was ever mad about it, but I did get teased about it a few times, and the kids were never really that surprised or enthused to see them. Of course, things change. My son no longer lives with me, and Payless is no longer in business so I obviously don't still do this, and haven't in some time. So this year when I asked my son what he wanted he gave this reply LOL: "Believe it or not mom, I miss getting the box of socks every year. Maybe I was wrong to be so ungrateful to get them every year, but they just seemed so boring and easy to take for granted. Probably because I never had to buy them for myself. Now that I do, every time I have to pay the stupidly expensive prices for them, I always think 'Shame a box of them doesn't just magically appear every year anymore', so I promise if you were to send some now I'd never roll my eyes about them again" HAHA

[@Manj_J]

I would adore getting an entire box of socks even now, I wear socks all the time in the house (sensory reasons + my feet always get cold) and I wish I could get a box of socks every year too lol XD

[@phastinemoon]

Boy, SAME! All me and my siblings now talk about how much we actually appreciate GOOD SOCKS , as gifts!

[@moogie42069]

I would do that when my boys were young and they are middle-aged now. I would still do that, but my youngest son is rather OCD about socks! He buys his own socks and gets rid of any older socks as soon as they are a little worn. He always has at least 20 pairs (the same for undershirts and boxers!). I think it harkens back to when they were little and they would get their yearly supply of socks and underwear every Christmas. The day after Christmas I would start yelling, "Bring out your dead" and that meant that all the old socks and underwear would be collected, sorted and, either donated or thrown out. (We are a household of Monte Python fans)

[@MamaPinks]

🎄Years ago I worked in phone customer service. A man made an order 2 days before Christmas and called 1 day before Christmas to yell at me that I ruined his children's Christmas because the items weren't going to be there until after Christmas. He was VICIOUS! I finally lost it and told him that I am so SORRY that he has taught his children that happiness is based off the the gifts they receive in Christmas. I then remi ded him that Christmas is in December 25th again the next year and that maybe he should order earlier and pay for faster shipping and not the free option.

I have never (in my adult life) been a fan of christmas, and stopped giving gifts many years ago. It took some arguing with my mom, as she insisted to give me presents, and I didn't feel like I deserved it, since I gave nothing. In my years as a student, I was poor as heck. So for the following christmases we made a compromise: I wished for canned goods, pasta, rice. All foods that doesn't spoil. She gave a biiig box of all that kind of stuff. It made me truly happy, because there were food there for several weeks. Even though I'm 37 now, she still give me gifts like shampoo, warm socks and those things that are just practical, and I really appreciate it. I know I sound like an old boring fart, but for someone who couldn't afford food, food was the best gift I could get.

[@rociodelcarmentalaveragonz6867]

I totally get it. My mom likes yo give me fancy stuff but the things I want most were super market things. Most of them things that I can't afford on regular basis such as a kind of cheese that was a little bit expensive, or some crackers, or a shampoo that costs the doble of my regular shampoo. So she decided to give me things like that on my birthday or christmas and I so happy with it.

The audacity of the women writing a complain about her restaurant’s free bday gift, the ornament. Haha. Reminds of this lady when I used to work at Starbucks and this lady always come to order a Iced Venti Water because she can’t do sugar nor caffeine. So one time, we changed the water filter and she came in time just after the filter’s changed. She ordered iced venti water(2X) and side cup of ice. Then she sipped, she turned around, smacking her tongue for taste, “Hey, your water taste funny.” I told her I’d love to change all of her waters instead she was like “I deserve a Coffee cake or something since I waited in line for well over 15 minutes.” I was like “Ma’am, You just got waters and plus, I thought u can’t do caffeine nor sugar?” She was so passed, she demanded to talk to my Manager , turned out it was me, THEE MANAGER. 😂😂😂😂

My family helped deliver Christmas hampers every year growing up. Overwhelming, people were so grateful especially the young families as the hampers included wrapped toys (off of lists provided by the families). But one family really soured things for us. The toys were in garbage bags to allow the parents to hide them to either give them from Santa or themselves. But the kids in this family opened them right away. We hadn’t even brought all the food in. One of the boys exclaimed “Not this again, I got this in the other delivery.” Turns out this was the third Christmas hamper program they signed up for. And the mom asked us if we could take the toy back and bring the child something different. Saddest part was there was a wait list for hampers, so while this family had three there were families that had none.

[@rebeccaklages9783]

The same thing was happening in our area. So our church teamed up with the Salvation Army and I think so did many others. The families need to register in advance and then they get a full Christmas dinner plus toys for the kids. When all the groups giving hampers out group together more people are helped because it stops some families from double or triple dipping (aka playing the system).

[@lokicooper4690]

Have a friend who does this for her church. I believe they get together with other churches and compare lists so people aren't getting from multiple sources. The families do have to register, so comparisons can be made. I remember reading something somewhere where one family registered every member as a "family" and all got in line at the hamper give out. Unfortunately, there wasn't anything that could be done. They got something like 11 baskets of food. For one family. I hope they put something in so that couldn't happen again. Or just plain banned the family from getting a basket.

If they didn't give their dad and me a Christmas present the next year, it would be the last time they got gifts. Not that we cared about getting something, but so they would realize that they had responsibilities at Christmas to others. Now every year they participate in giving as well as receiving.

Charlotte, Merry Christmas! The first story, of the person who received all that beautiful food and complained about it, made me grind my teeth. Having been a young divorced mom and working two jobs to support my son during my early 20s, that girl's attitude totally stank (stink, stank, stunk!) Quite a number of fabulous meals could've been made with that food if she just closed her mouth and put her energy into doing something good for her child instead of complaining.

[@LazyIRanch]

I feel like slapping that ungrateful person! My disabled son and I depend on the food bank, and I'm grateful for everything we get! We've never gotten a spread like that. We rarely get fresh food because our small food pantry can't store it. I live off-grid (100% solar/wind powered) on a mountain, down a rough dirt road that washes out in heavy rains. Once I was stuck here for 6 weeks when I couldn't get to town, didn't see another human the whole time. Having stores of canned goods, dried rice and beans, and bags of nuts and dried fruit meant we had all we needed. Last year, we got 9 pounds of delicious pistachios in December; that's about $90 worth of pistachios! I considered it our Xmas gift since we love them.

[@lindapatton4478]

I've been on the receiving end of food banks. Most of the time, you WON"T get anything that needs to be in the fridge, because of spoilage. I always had butter and milk in the fridge, because I knew that would not be part of the meal. I was always grateful for whatever I got, even if there was something in the package that I didn't really care for. Someone in my house would want it, so it never went to waste.

The families anonymously purchase $250 per child from their wish list. It's awful to see the Facebook marketplace the day of the gift pick ups. Parents are selling their items. Selling the expensive gifts their kids get. Honestly it's infuriating. I have seen the extent of what goes into this program. I know this community has more resources for people than many others do.

I opted out of our company Kris Kringle because someone announced that they didn't want anything from the dollar store. That wasn't my plan but what if that's all someone can afford?? Showed me exactly what this person values and reinforced why I don't celebrate this holiday anymore.

My husband & I made our own cards for birthdays & anniversaries cause we had no money. I few we only gave the children gifts, again low on cash. Our family time was more precious than presents! Merry Christmas to all! 🎄🎄❤️🇨🇦

My fiancé found a kitten last Xmas, & that was all we got for Xmas. So we named him Mr. Grinch

Best Christmas gift I received this year was waking up to a clean kitchen. My son cleaned my kitchen. Best gift ever.
