.I don't remember ever feeling this shallow and materialistic. Well, I probably do... but that's beside the point.
.After opening presents this morning, I actually got upset with my mother for not getting me what I wanted. It's a little more complicated than that, but it's still that ridiculous.
.I don't have a coat. I lost my faithful coat sometime last year and have been only moderately protected from the cold in various jackets ever since. This year, a coat was all I asked for. A very specific coat. Well, instead of the coat, I got a luggage set (what I wanted from my dad's parents, except not the same luggage set) and a check for less than the coat costs. This means that I didn't get exactly what I wanted from anyone this Christmas (My mom's dad was supposed to buy me a new bottle of my cologne, but my mom forgot to tell him... so I got a gift certificate for less than the cologne costs).
.I know, I'm being silly. I can probably buy the coat with the combined checks of my parents and however much my dad's parents will give me, but it just makes things so difficult.
.The good news is, I can play with my luggage set like they were Russian dolls.
