What should i do?

Question

Ok during christmas, remember, your young, and everything is a surprise? and when you open gifts you are all smily and so happy when ur younger b/c santa thought that you were good that year??

well that was how i was, but not, since i dont believe in santa(havent for a while)
i feel like my parents are still expecting me to be all happy go lucky over the gifts they get me, which in relatity, i am happy, but im not going to show my emotion, ill just set it aside and open another one, well it makes me feel bad when they are expecting me to get all happy and show my emotion..

what should i do?

ok and all you people who are being all " stop being so self centered" blah blah "give ur gifts to the kids that need them"
ok, u dont know all the stuff i do
i volunteer at hospitals. red cross, i know what to do, so why dont u stop trying to tell other people what to do and u do something about it.

im not trying to be mean, and if u have helped the kids in need, that is good. my parents do it every year, and yall should keep doing it.
but if some of you are going to be a hypocrite about the situation. keep ur rude and mean comments to urself? ok

Answer 1

I know how you feel.Its like a kick to the groin after they tell you the truth about "satan clause".
They will try to justify it by saying"lets do it for the children , oh there isnt NAY harm in it"YET whats the first thing the hypocrites tell the OLDER kids NOT to tell the younger whens when they tellthe older ones there is no such thing as santa?
They say "Oh dont tell the younger ones ,it will "RUIN" their Christmas.'
Like it doesnt EVER "ruin" the older one's Christmas?
Bah humbug!
Just thank them for the presents.

Answer 2

Just respond naturally and don't worry about it. This is all part of growing up and your parents know that because they've gone through it themselves. It may make them kinda sad that you're not a baby anymore and don't believe in Santa, but it would be really weird if you were 16 yrs old and were still leaving out cookies and milk. LOL!

If you open a gift and really like it, you don't have to run around the room, jumping up and down screaming. You can simply say, "Thanks Mom & Dad, it's really nice. I was really hoping I'd get one of those."

How do you know they are expecting you to get all flashy with your emotions anyway? Some people just aren't like that. I'm not. Just talk to your parents about all of this and most likely you'll find that they don't want you to be anything other than what comes naturally for you.

Answer 3

Uh, try being grateful that you get gifts and show some appreciation to your parents. There are lots of kids in this world with real problems and who don't get any gifts or even have enough food to eat on Christmas.

Answer 4

Stop being so selfish and self centered. Sorry but that's exactly what your behavior says. Maybe you should ask them not to get you gifts and use the money to buy gifts for someone who doesn't have any. Appreciate that your parents think enough to get you gifts, many don't have that in their lives.

Answer 5

It isn't just about santa clause. It is about showing appreciation for the money your parents spent and the time and effort they put into it. No one expects you to get all goofy any more, just be excited about the gifts and the effort.
Merry Christmas.

Answer 6

well, u are a little to old to be screaming over presents. So just tell ur parents u still care, but that u don't show tht much emotion. Easy as that. GOod luck :)

Answer 7

Maybe you should talk to them about it and they can give your presents to kids who have more to worry about than what you do......you sound kind of spoiled and ungreatful. JMO

Answer 8
