Whenever anyone gives me clothes for christmas it just doesn't match my style or the clothes is too big or small. I feel strange, sometimes I wish they didn't have to give me anything. Most of the time, I would just rewrap their presents and give it to somebody else. What do you do?

Gifts honestly are not the real meaning of Christmas. So Usually I appreciate the thought of someone getting me sometthing.I would never rewrap the present and give it to someone else. doesnt that make you feel guilty? I mean there is alotta people in the world who have basically nothing and if its not your "style" you just give it away. In all honestly I think that more than half the people in the world have forgotten why we honestly celebrate Christmas and that you sound slightly unappreciative of your friends or family thats buying you these gifts.
Read Luke chapter 2 in the Bible.Maybe then you will get it.
Oh and while you have the Bible out why dontyou read Matthew 27 as well. You can read about the man who gave his life for you which he didnt have a clue about you or anything and he died so you could live and honestly hes the reason for this time of year no gifts matter.
Hope you enjoy your holidays.I know this answer fills you with cheer.

Well at least thank them for the present, and act like you appreciate it. It is the thought that counts. When I get clothes I don't want, I dont moan or complain but remain polite about it. No one said you ever had to wear the clothes =P and if they dont fit, then they can't blame you for not liking them. Just keep them at the back of your wardrobe.

who gives you the clothes? return them for something you like, and claim that the size was the issue.
regifting is ONLY ok if it's something the other person would really like AND they didn't give you the gift in the first place!

Be appreciative anyway. They might have spent a lot of effort, time and money to get those presents, or not, but I always assume they did.

I say thank you and, if they left half the tag on, I try to exchange them after Christmas. Alternately, I would donate it to charity.

I thank them for thinking enough of me to give me a gift, and then give the item to a charitable organization.

Pretend you like it and wear it when they're around. Clothes aren't cheap.
That's not that bad. My friend came home from Israel and got me a little container of body glitter. I was like, Gee. Thanks. And I threw it out.
Funny b/c I spent like ten times that on her present from when I went to Israel.

Just act like you like it.
Wear it once.
Then throw it in the back of your closet.
Or give it to a chairity like Goodwill.
