Christmas Woes
Christmas always makes me feel horrible. People take the time and money to buy me gifts but I am never happy. The gifts are fine, there's nothing really wrong with them. But I always want something just slightly different. Why can't I just be grateful?
My mom bought me a pea coat. And it's true, I've been wanting one for a while, but apparently I wasn't specific enough. I wanted a navy or black modern pea coat. She got me a grey, traditional, full-length one. I should be happy just to have a pea coat. But I can't help wishing mine looked more like my cousin's.
My brothers went in together to get me a UNCW hoodie. I have wanted one ever since I got accepted. But the one I wanted was teal with navy lettering. The one I got was a men's sweatshirt that was grey and had green writing. I should appreciate that they put the though into getting me something they thought I would really like, but I just can't help but want the one I had pictured.
Why can't I just be happy with what they got me? Why am I unsatisfied when people spent time and money to pick something out for me? Don't get me wrong, the gifts are fine. But that's just it. They are fine. I'm not in love with them. I'm not overjoyed to have them.
