Christmas Spending & the True Spirit of the Season 🎄

[min14]

@sometroll my kids get 1 off santa too, one of the cheaper items they asked for, because as you said, not everyone is fortunate enough. Just my step-granddaughter this year as my own child no longer believes at 13

@sometroll Santa always delivered all the gifts in our house. Nobody's child was ever harmed by this.

@sometroll Santa brings our stocking's and the rest is from us or family xx

I personally couldn't care what people spend.
That said, if people want to post pictures online with presents stacked to the ceiling whilst some people can't afford any presents at all, then they open themselves to comments both good and bad.
Let's face it, if people didn't brag in the first place then others wouldn't know and therefore wouldn't grumble/bad mouth
Spend what you want, but if you don't want your feelings hurt to post online making yourself open to potential abuse

@rodney937 or maybe people should just learn to be nicer? A mountain of presents doesn't warrant bad comments

@rodney937 I'm not one to make a huge pile, but I don't see that someone is bragging for doing so if they do...
I mean, ya could get 100 presents from the £1 shop and it be £100 and it look like you've bought loads whilst the next person has a £1000 diamond ring... And only 1 present.
Let's stop assuming anyone is doing anything and just leave people to do as they do without judgement on either end of the scale

@daviddaviddavid123 I dont mind the pics but what really gets me going is when the caption says..is this enough???? Yes you know full well its enough

 

[rodney937]

@daviddaviddavid123 not when their post literally says spent 5k on presents for my 1 year old, when they drop pictures teamed up with monetary comments, that's them bragging

Never understood why people can’t just MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS

I will always remember when my son was little, all he wanted was a red pen It caused some laughter between the elves when I took him to see Santa. I honestly think it was his favourite present that year (I got him one where you click down the diff colours and he was fascinated)

@littleprincess_jenny love this

 

[veeda]

I love this xx

 

[christianbodybuilder]

I agree.
Finances used to be a private / personal thing.
I don’t agree with people asking what people spend on any presents, or saying how much they’ve spent on gifts.
It shouldn’t matter what anyone spends, just spend what you can and not what you think others are spending x

 

[abrahamscaria]

Couldn’t agree more. Well said.

 

[brianhann0n]

Totally agree!!! Kids won’t remember the expense spent they’ll remember the daft games or the time no one remembers pudding or the time they woke up at 4am. It’s about making memories not how much you spend

 

[vywwilliams]

Why would anyone judge anyone regarding Xmas presents ? Weird post

 

[jarmolaaksonen]

@vywwilliams people do all the time, this post isn't weird the ones asking how much others spend are weird

 

[candi44]

I always think about those children in care those children dont want presents they only want a family. Those who are homeless just wanting a roof and people around them. Those elderly people who will be on their own have lost their loved one and those animals at christmas who are chucked out straight after christmas when the posts come up on facebook and chucked away like rubbish makes you feel one of the most luckiest people ❤

 

[uniquetress_2008]

Well said
