"Don't be such a Scrooge!"

HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY (cept im writing this at like 11:57 PM so it's gonna be boxing day soon so happy BELATED christmas and a happy boxing day too!)

alright now onto the fun stuff

I LOVE CHRISTMAS ALRIGHT

really it's a great time of the year, we celebrate the birth of Jesus (or some of us do at least), there's gift giving, there's family, there's friends, there's food (there's a LOT of food), christmas movies and snow (lol there's no snow in CANADA somethings wrong here)

but of course....there's always a problem with everything (at least in my case....?)

now i mean, CHRISTMAS is great, but....yeah this christmas wasn't so great and i guess i needa get this off my chest.

so i come skipping down on christmas morning (ok not really i trudged down the stairs) and of course its the time to open GIFTS

*now note i only have gifts from my mother and my brother so i technically don't get much unless i have the family from abroad ship their gifts over or we go and see them, which is happening this year

so of course, i open my gifts which include a wonderful let down of these crappy pants i will never wear (and surprisingly enough they're also my mothers size as well...), a pair of base leggings for skiing, a weird quarter zip thing that i would wear for skiing (the colour is this weird purple...it's like navy purple if that's even a thing) and my brother, thank the lord right?

WRONG OH SO WRONG

so see my old elementary school (which my brother still goes to) happens to have this thing called "Christmas Shop" *cue the oos and ahs

so basically the point of that whole thing is to help the students get all their christmas shopping done for multiple members of the family (mom, dad, siblings, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins etc.) so of course my brother went shopping for me and surprisingly enough my mom was volunteering in helping the kids out and my mom happened to be paired with my brother.

now you would think, that since my brother now has the female point of view, PLUS the fact that it's my MOTHER helping him, he should get a good gift right?

*BUZZING NOISE* WRONG

so instead he gets me earrings.  now here's the problem.  my ears were pierced, but i took them out, so they closed up therefore: i have to get them repierced even tho my mom doesn't want me to and idk why but that's not the point the point is

WHY WOULD MY MOM LET MY BROTHER PICK SUCH A USELESS GIFT SINCE SHE WON'T EVEN TAKE ME TO GET MY EARS PIERCED ANYWAYS LIKE DOES EGGNOG MAKE PEOPLE STUPID OR SOMETHING

especially cuz my mom went out of her way to go get my brother some assasin's creed game the day before christmas and yet she got me really crappy stuff.  

now, i get that i sound selfish and i know i'm being ungrateful but here's my thing: i told my mother EXACTLY what i wanted and it included:

-addidas pants (omg i want them so bad)

-some more workout shorts

-tna leggings

-bath set

pretty easy don't you think? now most of the clothing stuff i get that she wouldn't have gone cuz we can just go on boxing day and get it then. but the BATH SET LIKE CAN I AT LEAST GET THAT NOPE.

again: i know i sound extrememly ungrateful for what i got, and i guess i am considering there are people who have got NOTHING and who never get anything and there are people who would do anything to have a christmas like mine.  and i'm recognizing the fact that i'm acting extremely selfish but i guess i just wish that people LISTENED TO WHAT I SAY RATHER THEN JUST DO WHATEVER

whatever

so boxing day is basically my christmas cuz that means i can actually get what i want so wish me luck as i push through people and get some amazing deals.... *lord help me

MERRY CHRISTMAS YA FILTHY ANIMALS!

*jks i love you and i'm sure you're all very nice and clean i just wanted to quote home alone :')

love you all!
