My bf and I propagated a tree from one that we own now for my brother. He had said how much he liked it when he helped us move so we just made another tree from ours which cost 0 money but had a lot of thought in it and he keeps saying over and over how much he loves it. My favorite present this yr was a 20 dollar pillow pet haha.

I could understand from really little kids that don't understand the dynamics of the economy and how much presents cost but a 13 yr old kid should know better. My parents used to wrap our presents in newspaper and told us it was because wrapping paper was too expensive and we never thought twice about it.

This yr my mom kept asking me what I wanted. She ended up sending me a check for gas money so I could come home and see everyone and that meant so much to me. I got to sit around with my family and play euchre and see my nieces and nephew. I think you have to go through a little bit to realize what you have but I still think what he did was selfish.

We'll see what happens next Christmas...........
