It's okay if your feelings are hurt. Happens to everyone sometimes. The important thing to remember is that she took the time to think of you.
Merry Christmas!

Well, you do sound a little like Dudley Dursley from the 1st Harry Potter.
Many times it's not the number, but the price tag.
Or, maybe you've been acting selfish like this a lot and your sister thought you needed a lesson.
I think you should be grateful for receiving a present and quit comparing -- over analyzing will just ruin your holiday.
Merry Christmas

Believe it or not she probably spent the same amount of money on all of you. When children are younger the things they want cost less, as children get older they usually want things that are more expensive. You should be happy that your sister bought you anything for Christmas. It's her money and she can spend it as she chooses. Stop comparing yourself to your other siblings and be grateful you have a nice family that cares about you! Christmas isn't about getting but giving you need to spend more time reflexing on that. And by the way what did you get your sister this Christmas????

it's human nature to be offended. The only reasonable explaination is that yours are more expensive, or that she didn't want to send 28 presents in the mail. My family are all adults and our mom still makes sure everyone gets the same amount of gifts

Maybe she paid the same for them.
28 small presents = $x
4 big presents = $x
Either way, be grateful. She is your sister..some sisters would not even think of getting their sibling's toys.

Depends on the age. If the 2 other children are a lot younger than you then let them have their Christmas.
Otherwise, maybe she did give them a little more, doesn't mean she didn't take time and effort to pick out your gifts.

You should be offended...I feel grateful to get 5 on xmas day!
Over 20, that's in the "spoiled" zone.

Be grateful. I'm not going to get any.

Be grateful. Really, did you even need to ask this question?
