When is a kid too old to receive Christmas presents?

Question

Lol, I really don't want anything for Christmas but my parents insist on getting me presents. Am I too old, or am I ungrateful for wanting things for Christmas? How old is too old?

Never too old! I actually like it when I don't get clothes because I am picky and will most likely hate 90% of the clothes I might get.
But then if I receive anything else... I don't mind at all and enjoy it: games, things to put in my office, to hang on the walls in the living room... crazy stuff, funny stuff... I take it.
Know what i really wish for in the future. I like tattoos. There are Maori (New Zealand) tribal tattoos that are made with special tools called "ta moko" like hundreds of years ago. I would like one of those beautifully carved wooden tools to have it on display around here. I like traditional stuff.

You're never too old for prezzies! I buy my mum a prezzie for Christmas and her birthday. My sister does, too. Occasionally, if I see something small that she'd really like, I buy it for her, just to say "Thanks, mum".

How weird.
Santa is for children... but Christmas is for everyone... Unless you're anti religion or some other religion etc...

Give to those you love... not on basis on if they are old or young.
In my family, every one gives. It's not children exclusive. I do not understand people who think like you. But if you dont' want gifts I wouldn't give you anything.

With everything I've gotten for my grandma, I think she's going to turn out better than me this Christmas and she's 75!

I have a December birthday too and if my parents are stretched I offer to take a raincheck until the spring (after tax time XD) so it's easier for them. I kind of actually like that more because then everything's not bunched together.

What? Never! No ones to old to not get presents!

Bluemax · Answer

You are NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER too old for Christmas presents. If you live a million years, you are not too old for Christmas presents. The Milky Way galaxy (estimated to be about ten billion years old) isn't too old for Christmas presents.

ThePragmaticRomantic · Answer

I buy my grandmother Christmas presents... Im not sure I understand why someone would be too old.
Said grandmother still buys my retired mother Christmas presents, if you meant preasants specifically from a parent.
Its an opportunity to show how much you know about someone by getting a fun well thought out gift. Never too old for that.

DivaMonae · Answer

No offense but you're such a weirdo. Lol Now I can understand outgroing toys but new clothes, electronics, or cash are always great gifts. If you're not accepting gifts tell your parents I am 🙋

AzureGirl · Answer

When you're 144 years old! It's nice to receive gifts but I understand where you're coming from. I don't want anything either and I have my mom and my grandparents hounding me for ideas!

WhereAmI · Answer

I've agreed with my older siblings that the nieces/nephews won't get anything once they're 18 unless they graduating from college or it's marriage. Can't keep giving gifts forever although I see my parents do it with my cousins who are over 21.

fauchelevent · Answer

I still get my family Christmas parents, even my grandparents who are both in their late 60's, so I don't think you're ever too old :P

Red_Arrow · Answer

My kids are 30 and 36. I still get them gifts for birthdays and Christmas. They are always my kids

loveisbeautiful · Answer

I'm confused, doesn't everybody buy somebody a gift for Christmas whether they be 2 or 102 lol? Presents don's really have a age limit and as far as I know everybody exchanges gifts on Christmas, so you don't have to worry about being too old.

SilenRose · Answer

I better see something under that Christmas tree or there will be problems. :P

Everyone gets gifts. You're never too old.
I remember I lost the want for anything on Christmas when I was 14. I was working and bought all my own stuff and I was more concerned with what I'd get my family.

genericname85 · Answer

Unhappy_Sock · Answer

No, grown ups get presents too, do you not get your parents anything? Maybe you're old enough to do that now... pay them back for all the stuff they bought you over the years...

My parents already got me gifts, wrapped it and sent it to me. I gave my elderly neighbor, who's in her late 70s this collectible tin last year for Christmas. I don't think there is any age limit on spreading holiday cheer.

nakedalligator · Answer

My family keeps gifts pretty basic, we just get each other small gifts, nothing crazy, might get the younger family members something more but that's it.
