When is a kid too old to receive Christmas presents?

[RainbowFanGirl]

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?

12 and under.

13.

14.

15.

16.

17 and up.

You're never too old for holiday cheer! 🎄

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".

[RainbowFanGirl]

My birthday is on Wednesday. My parents said they got me something. :( I feel bad that my birthday is so close to Christmas.

[dogbert444]

Don't feel bad!! I have a cousin that has her birthday on 24th Dec. Her parents always got separate prezzies for her. So many people combined the two, which is unfair. So she has an unofficial birthday in the summer.

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.

[RainbowFanGirl]

Yeah. I really wanted to get my parents something.

[BellePepper]

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.

[RainbowFanGirl]

Awesome. When is your birthday? Mine is on Wednesday. :)

[BellePepper]

It was yesterday :) Yay Sagittariuses!

[RainbowFanGirl]

Yay happy late b day! 👏 Yay Sagittariuses! ♐️

[BellePepper]

TY! Happy early birthday to you!

[RainbowFanGirl]

Thank you! 😄

[PeachSunset]

Whoever said 12 and under.. go away.. just.. just shoo.
You're never too old, i'll be trick or treating and begging for Christmas presents till i'm out of the house 😂

[RainbowFanGirl]

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]

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]

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 🙋

[RainbowFanGirl]

I know I'm so weird. 😅 I feel like crap when my parents spend money on me lol. I'm too nice

[DivaMonae]

Now I feel like a spoiled brat :(

[RainbowFanGirl]

Nahhh you ain't.

[AzureGirl]

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!

[RainbowFanGirl]

Yeah. I just feel really bad when they spend money on me.

[AzureGirl]

I hear you there! I usually just ask for gift cards and try to buy thank you gifts with them.

[fauchelevent]

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

[RainbowFanGirl]

Well that's nice of you. :)

[WhereAmI]

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.

[RainbowFanGirl]

Really? Are they in college?

[WhereAmI]

Actually, no they graduated and she still gives birthday and Christmas gifts! Why can't I have an aunt like that? :(

[RainbowFanGirl]

I know right? :p

[Red_Arrow]

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

[loveisbeautiful]

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]

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

[RainbowFanGirl]

Hehehe

[Zendrya]

Since when was there an age limit? Don't your parents get presents?

[RainbowFanGirl]

Not always.

[Vesuvius87]

You're never to old. I'm still waiting for my Christmas gift.

[RainbowFanGirl]

Me too. :)

[zagor]

My family still exchanges gifts even though we're all grown and all except me are married. And now I have nieces and nephews that expect gifts from their single, no-obligations uncle.

[RainbowFanGirl]

Well tha's great. :)

[zombiebabe]

i guess you're never too old.. but my parents give me cash on Christmas -_-'

[RainbowFanGirl]

Aw I'd be happy lol

[zombiebabe]

lol!

[rjroy3]

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.

[xOGxDub]

You turned 17 happy belated birthday

and id say never really to old but i think the age you should start giving presents back is around 19 20

[RainbowFanGirl]

Thanks and yeah I think so too :p

[genericname85]

i think it´s adorable if parents do that if you´re grown up just do it too and get them something nice in return.

[RainbowFanGirl]

It really is. :) I didn't know people did that.

[genericname85]

well where i come from we do celebrate Christmas as a family anyway. it´s a tradition for us to have a family feast at Christmas eve and then we do "Bescherung" which basically means we slowly open up all the presents we got for each other.

[Zorax]

You are never too old for presents. Anyway, people usually get me only New Year's presents, because I'm an atheist :P

[xslope]

That's a bit weird. And I'm an atheist too. I take that you don't celebrate Christmas in any way? Are the New Year's presents a thing where you live or do they just compensate for not giving you Christmas presents?

[Zorax]

Yes, New Year's presents are a thing in my country, at least among us atheists, because... during the socialism, in ex Yugoslavia, New Year was like a compensation for Christmas, in every possible way.
Basically, we have New Year's tree, and Grandfather Frost (as an atheist version of Santa Claus) ;)

[Unhappy_Sock]

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...

[FrenchEmma]

I'm the same age as you're and I still get presents. I hope I'm not to ungrateful :p

[FrenchEmma]

*too

[RainbowFanGirl]

Not at all :)
