Things we got for Christmas

I am no Scrooge but this thread is just fills me with disgust. The amount some people have spent/have had spent on them is just mind blowing. I have had a hamper off my parents, filled with sweets, meat, cheeses etc and I am so chuffed with it. I mean I noticed a coat earlier the thread for £500...

Think of those who cannot even afford a decent dinner today or who have no family to spend it with.

So if you have lots of money, you're not allowed to spend it?

I wasn't ranting about spending money, I was ranting about someone receiving expensive gifts and not being happy about it because they wanted more.

Then I suggest you donate that hamper to someone less fortunate than yourself, there are plenty of charities, like the Trussel Trust who woukd be able to help you mae sure it went to someone who needed it more than you.

touche sir

also what if the rich kid has been used to getting 50 presents this year totalling 20k and this year only gets 2k worth of presents. if thats what he is used to then maybe he isnt being spoilt. thats the world he lives in. different to the one you exist in. nice stuff and all that. jealous. though i do hate those beats headphones. ive heard they're not that great for the price. and i hate the way every one buys them for the brand instead of quality

Alas, charities often won't accept perishable foods, and giving the hamper away may leave his parents feeling insulted.

I got:
Enough money to buy the WDTV Live I wanted
A case of shotgun cartridges
A very cool Land Rover keyring
A bag of Thorntons tablet.
A case of A&W Root Beer from my Secret Santa (KaHn)

A very respectable haul for which I'm very grateful.

And that was beside the point....he was judging people without cause. Why should someone be made to feel guilty because they recieved or gave more expensive presents than he did????

If he feels so strongly about helping those less foryunate, then he should do so, not berate those who are better off simply for being better off...

Who cares what the kids gets or doesnt get....I didn't make any judgement on who recieves what or who spends what. You have me confused with someone else....as for being jealous.....jealous of what?????? A few relatively cheap gagdets??? Really....:confused:

As for the Beats Pro's, I have a pair and they are very good, comparable with botH the beyers and Senn 650s I own, with significantly better build quality, it all depends on what you are listening too.....some people gotta hate, cos they gotta hate.....
