It always happens to me! Every year I look forward for Christmas to come,as I love the spirit of those days. I also use to have child memories of Christmas and they're so sweet! But on the other hand,when Christmas comes I never have the great time I was waiting for and I always think-"Ιt wasn't so great in fact!"
i used to be like this, i never understod it neither but now looking back i think it was because i was a little bit spoilt
not in a bratish way though, ive always been greatfull for what ive got of mum but for example when ide put 2 cds on my xmas list that i wanted with the one i wanted most written first shed always get the one written second, or ide ask for something explain exactly what it looked like, where it was, somtimes even take her onto the shop to show her and then she would still get the wrong one, looking back i do feel bad even more so because i have once or twice expresed my feelings and seen how much this has upset her, now she no longer buys things alone and makes sure herself that i am there when she buys things, but i dont believe this is the main reason why i no longer fell this way, its because i now have a child and just seing her happy makes my day, cos i do still get some awfull presents of other members of the family!!! i just dont seem to care
