Why do people get so much for Christmas?

I look around and I see people who get TONS of stuff for Christmas, and I'm an Asian American and I hardly get anything each year. I feel sad because everyone comes around and brags about their new Iphone, Ipad, etc. I feel sad.

I honestly don't ask for a lot, and still I get a lot. Half the stuff i have gotten i don't even use. I hate it. People just get spoiled. My 9 year old sister wants a phone. I tell her a lot that I didn't even get mine till I was 12 and it was a FLIP PHONE. Our society is spoiled

Christian Privilege mate.

Well you shouldn't be sad about it.Jesus only resecived 3 gifts. I think that is plenty. Some are spoiled some can afford so they do and some get little or nothing. Its not about the receiving but the giving. Be happy with whatever for now when you earn your own living you can splurge all you want but you will find the wanting sometimes is better than the getting.

Depends, some can afford it or afford expensive gifts. Growing up we were lucky to have one gift from our parents since really had 4 girls to provide for. Other gifts came from family. Some don't get anything. I work in a nursing home n see some residents get just one gift which is from the facility. Appreciate what you receive because there's someone out there that doesn't get anything.

Don't feel bad, I never really got a lot of gifts.

  • Why people like iPhones? I can't never get people who like iphones to give a good reason, why? Some say it easy, but a lot have no clue on how to use their own phones. Can someone explain something useful that great about iphone? Everything they think is special other phones have been doing for years.
  • Why do so much people have iphones? I see iphones everywhere i go, everywhere i go. I saw at least 5 of them today. There are so many smartphones out there that are way better and are basically the same thing, so why iphone? And NO i'm not jealous of them cuz i have a smartphone myself. It looks like an iphone but its better quality and has more features, cheaper, etc.
  • Why do people think that childfree people are immature and selfish? Marriage isn't living outside of yourself for another person? What about taking care of extended family?
  • Why do people hate on the iPhone 5 so much? The galaxy S3 does not blow it out of the water. The Galaxy has a bigger screen, SD card slot. The iPhone 5 is built better. They will both run on LTE, have basically the same speeds, the iPhone's camera will be just slightly better. Besides the screen size, it seems more like a battle of iOS vs Android, as how the phones perform will be extremely similar.
