don't be greedy! save up your money and buy it yourself. so you think they want to be broke? no. they feel bad enough, be grateful for what you are going to get because some people get NOTHING!

My house was just redone, and it was expensive for my parents, soo...
I am expecting little from my parents, and luckily I didn't ask for much, so don't expect a camera and an iPod on one holiday! No way! Expect gifts from the heart, the greatest gifts are the ones that had thought put into it, like if your parents knew this was "you", and you'd love it and get good use out of it.

Well, my parents have been crying poor house for the last 10 years, but somehow I got an iPod last year. So it just depends on what your parents consider cheap. But that isn't what Christmas is about, be thankful you can share the holidays with both your parents and the rest of your family.

Only if you consider "cheap gifts" nothing.They probably meant you would be getting things they think you need instead of luxury items.Be grateful for that and show your love it does hurt them not to give the best but they show their love by giving you something.So get that Christmas spirit going and keep it fun,Christmas IS for everyone and you can make yours wonderful or not,its up to you.Merry Christmas!

I HAVE IT!!
Try these! Probably best as stocking stuffers or secret santa. They are cheap and don't look it. I used these last year and they were a big hit. Using again this year.

do not expect too much it will lead to a big disappointment. every year i go thru this and I always give great presents expensive ones and i always get present like less than $20.00 and not much thought like they do not know me..
just tell them to buy you itunes gift card so you can buy music and put it on a cd if you do not have an ipod yet. hehe

u shouldn't say that because first of all anyone has the right to celebrate maybe my family wants to have fun and celebrate Christmas like most Americans do . so u know what Christianity isn't about only being Christian and such u should be ashamed of saying that. wow, and to think u know the meaning of Christmas?

just be thankful to get some thing some kids get nothing ....
when i was a kid my mum didn't have much money so he and the neighbours use to tell us kids to clean out the toy box ready for santa to bring new things for us..
well a few years later i realised that all themums use to wait until we went to school and swap the old toys with each other they would clean them and make them look brand new..
we were happy with it and didn't know anything different...
and they would also cut up old clothes and make them into dolls clothes for us girls...

ask for one huge thing. Like the iPod then they could get u one outfit and an iPod then pay for half of one of the things. Then save up money for camera!

JUST, THINK HOW DISAPPOINTED YOUR PARENTS FEEL, WHEN THEY CAN'T AFFORD WHAT YOU WANT!
ONE GIFT, TODAY!
WAS THE PRICE SPENT
FOR ALL THE GIFTS
THAT WERE UNDER THE TREE!
WHAT IS THE PRICE OF YOUR PARENTS LOVE?
