Am I asking for too much for Christmas? - 1

I'm a very grateful girl. I'm 13 and i made a list for my parents on what i want. A few weeks ago i got a wii u so i'm not expecting anything for christmas since that was very expensive. But i made a list. Please be honest.

-Iphone 6s Plus (I KNOW FOR SURE I'm NOT GETTING THIS. I just really need a new phone. I have my first phone which is a samsung s3 and its not working well and i'm eligible for an upgrade but i just would really like it but i know i probably won't be getting it.)
- Bath and Body Works Perfume, Lotion set (27.00)
- Itunes 25 dollar gift card
- Decorative tape -12.00-
- Charcoal pencils -6.99-
- Clothes

Is it way too much? I defiantly feel like it is.

I think you should only ask for the iphone

As a mum & grandma I would say it is too much, you won't get the phone but should get the others but depends what you mean by clothes, is it one top or lots of clothes because I would get you only few clothes

The problem with Christmas is that this corrosive sense of entitlement comes with crass commercialism, so instead of people putting up 'wish' lists, they put up 'things I want and expect to get' lists.

This completely kills the true meaning of giving.

So dump the entitlement thing, and simply tell people your 'wish' list, and assume you'll get maybe one thing from that list.

Automatically getting whatever you ask for isn't 'gifting'.

You know that your folks aren't going to get you some of the stuff on your wish list and you've given them plenty of choices of what all you would like and know you probably not going to get everything. As long as you're realistic about stuff then there should be no problem.

I feel like you should only ask for the iPhone or only ask for all the either stuff with a few extras.

I don't mean to sound like an a hole, but if you think you are asking for too much stuff then you are asking for too much stuff.

As a soldier in the us army originally from Georgia but stationed at ft wainwright AK I can say the only thing I want is to see my family. If they bought me anything it would be too much. I won't see my family for probably another 2 years.

As a 13 year old girl it's not wrong for you to want things for Christmas, but remember that the most important thing is to spend time with your loved ones because in a couple of years when you are 18 or 19 and off in college you will just be happy to see them and probably will be more worried about what you can get for them thenough what they get you.

Oh, I like a nice long Christmas list.
That way, you can get what you want, but not be certain of which items you will get, so you still get the "surprise" factor.
Add some more stuff to it, tell your parents WHY you added to it.

It is up to them to know how and what is affordable, but we LIKE to delight our kids, so give them a chance. I usually ask my kids for at least 15 "wants" of varying prices, so that I can choose what I can afford from the wish list. And my kids are adults.

Christmas is supposed to be magical and fun, even for big kids.

No, not at all. (I asked this last year) I mean I asked for a I phone 5s, clothes, shoes, lip stick, and perfume. I got it all. You know maybe not the phone. I mean If you want the phone badly, shorten your list. You know maybe take away the decorative tape and the charcoal pencils. Maybe you will get the phone, like I said if you shorten the lt a bit.

If you take away the iPhone it's not that much

Excluding the iPhone your wish list is fine
