I pleaded for body cream for Xmas I got so many giftsI feel guilty about it. Do other families not listen too?

I truly am grateful for the kind thoughts but would like to have ethical gifts or home made gifts. I will hand some on but what an expense.I pleaded for body cream for Xmas I got so many giftsI feel guilty about it. Do other families not listen too?

They thought they were doing what you wanted, most likely. I have one sister like that. It's hard to be grateful for presents whose giver misunderstood what you really wanted, but do please try. Remember these gifts were gotten for you by someone who cares enough about you to try to get you what you wanted -- and nice ones, too, it sounds like. I have learned over the years (this one sister of mine) to appreciate the thought even when the gift is not to my liking. It's a good lesson to learn, because it makes both you and your family much happier and more contented.





Hopefully, your family does not do what my sister used to do: ask, when you open it, if that's what you wanted. She always seemed to expect a 'yes' answer (of course, that's why she bought it) but I always thought she was asking a real question and would answer truthfully without trying to be tactful in telling the truth. I learned over the years to 'have my tact on tap' for questions such as those. It was awkward until I learned that, and I quite unintentionally hurt her feelings a few times.
I told my mom I didn't want a pair of uggs this year. Then on christmas I open my presents, and guess what my mom got me, a pair of uggs.
