This Christmas I decided to choose a charity and donate the money that I would have otherwise spent on Christmas Presents. I would have been buying for my Mom, Dad, 2 Brothers, Aunt and Uncle. In the past I usually spent about $700, so I think I am going to donate about $500. I'm only 19 and this year I'm not working like I have been in the past. I have money saved up and that is the money I am going to donate. However, my mom seems to think I am "taking the fun out of Christmas" she just said to me that Christmas is about buying presents and she is actually upset/pissed that I am doing this. She told me I enjoy nothing and am very negative about Christmas this year. I went on and on and told her that money isn't what Christmas is about, but she just won't get it through her head.
What do you think? Am I in the wrong? Am I being a downer?
