Pat's Fantasy Hotlist: Books for Christmas???
when I was growing up, I was told pretty succinctly that if I was unhappy with my gifts, there were plenty of charities who would be happy to take them and give them to some other child...
don't mess with a child's gifts.
children ages 4-10 is just not worth it.
after that, they can cry all they want.
Ha! I'm unhappy if I get books usually 'cause some silly relative has given me the third in a trilogy and so I have to go and buy the first two anyway :)
I now tell all and sundry I don't want any gifts at all - I can buy my own books and the other crap they give me usually gets thrown out or re-gifted, they might as well save dosh and just get me grog or nothing.
ungrateful little brat should get a slap upside the heid
For me it was clothes, lol. Every gift that revealed clothes was like a dashed hope.
i agree with locusmortiis, im 23 and hardly got any gifts as a child times were different but he needs a slap
I would guess that that family filmed his reaction knowing what it would be .They most probably spoil the kid rotten all other times and never give books or it was a book from ma relative.Would hate to think what the parents are like if that is the way they have brought their kid up.
Feel sorry for the kid really as he will never know whtat jopy it is to open up a book and feel the joy of whats inside..Would have been funny though if there was about 20 presents all looked as though they were toys and wrapped as if but when opened all are books..the increasing anoyance from the kid would have been magic.
