You all should be ashamed of yourselves. I have no idea how your parents raised you to be so materialistic and if they didn’t, why you base your happiness on material possessions.
You should all be grateful that you were able to have a Christmas and receive presents when others go without and don’t even have the means to. Those who go without the essentials like food, housing and education and you complain about the lack of cars, phones and gadgets.
You are so ungrateful and should have your presents taken back and the money given to charities and to those less fortunate.
I am ashamed of your lack of humanity and appalled with your profanities against those who gave you life. The fact you are basing any factor in your happiness on a product is down right stupid and I feel sorry for you for doing so.
As my friend Leah says, if Christmas to you is all about the presents regardless of religious denomination – worse if it is the denomination that is supposed to celebrate the birth of Christ (History of Christmas: (http://www.history.com/topics/christmas) and/or a pagan tradition (thanks northcareer) – then you should all shut up, re-evaluate your lives and way of thinking and go and hand your presents back to your parents, apologise for cursing them out and tell them that you love them and for raising you and for even buying you a present in the first place.
It is moments like this and individuals like these that my faith in humanity wears thin…but it is my passion and resolve that they will one day wake up and realise that they were wrong, and hopefully break this negative and materialistic cycle before they have kids of their own and educate them on the true meaning of Christmas, and to be grateful and humble…but most importantly that the greatest gift of all is not the new iPhone or iPad or even a new car, but it was the fact that you were able to spend the day with those who loved you and hold you dear in their hearts and cared for you so much, that they spent money they did/didn’t have to on a product to try and make you smile, when all they you need to do to make them smile is to say “thank you, I love you.”
