Oh, of course I know it's not. It's just every single year I get my hopes up that it will turn out ok and it never does. Plus I enjoy giving people stuff and the girl wasn't even there so I didn't even have fun giving either. How ever I did get some really great cookies at the party!   |

It could be worse, I still remember the gal who got the dissected frog in 8th grade first hour biology. I wonder who the evil person was who wrapped that frog up? Hugo |

lol i agree it's the THOUGHT that counts, and it hurts when absolutely no thought is put into it, especially when you go out of your way for someone else. i hope you get a good one eventually, you deserve it!  |

Sounds like you are a nice and thoughtful person. Please don't let others take away from the goodness in your heart that you share. Maybe your gifts are all that person whose name you drew will receive for Christmas. And because you took the extra time to choose the gifts and wrap them special, you have shown what a gentle and caring person you are. It would be a shame for you to change. Peace my friend. You gave of your self and that is a wonderful gift Always.  |

Even though it's not about gifts, it does hurt when so called friends don't remember you after you always remember them. But they remember to get a gift for their other friends. It's one thing when you know they're poor but that's different. Anyway, if it happens again, just start giving snowman poop. It's a baggie full of tiny marshmallows with a tag that says what it is. People may actually get a kick out of it.
Merry Christmas, SeaPrincess *HUGS*  |

You sound like you're such a sweet and thoughtful person, it hurt me to read what happened to you. So by now I guess you know not everyone is kind and thoughtful. I think it's a shame more people aren't like you. Merry Christmas sweety, at least you know how to give and care. One day someone will appreciate you. Please don't change. Lyndy  |

Wait, wait, wait, you've got it all wrong...It's not about what YOU get but what YOU GIVE...It all comes backto you in the end, you shouldn't be mad b/c you didn't get but happy b/c you gave and were not selfish like the others...People get the meaning of Christmas all mixed up...It's the birth of Christ and a time to give not to recieve...True, those people should have had a lot more respect or at least made a small effort since it was an exchange but I wouldn't dwell on it!It's very thoughtful and sweet you put so much time into it! God bless! Merry Christmas! I hope it gets better for you **EnglishPoet** |

Sorry you always seem to get the wrong end of the stick. I know it's suppose to be about giving, and not getting, but I understand your point about people not trying, and being more considerate. I had something like this happen to me one time. It was all I could do to keep quiet. Long story short, I ended up with a bottle of hand lotion...if you can call it that . It was an off brand, and it smelled sour, and old...I could go on and on describing it. I felt like someone had just went through their house looking for something to give for the exchange, instead of going to the store. It is maddening, because they knew that they could get away with this, as nobody would know who it was from.(We didn't draw names, we had to do something to get a gift). It's sad that people can't go buy something....My family had a good laugh about this "gift."~Golden Taxi.  |
