Q: I have a single mother on a limited income. And she asked me what I wanted for Christmas. What should I say when I tell her I don't want her to spend the limited funds on me? Without sounding like an ungrateful prick of course. Thanks.
A: Tell her that all you want this year is to spend Christmas with her and that it would be the best Christmas present of a. If she still says she wants to buy you something tell her that it's the only thing you want, because Christmas is a time to spend with the ones you love and not about material things. If she really wants to get you something ask if she would make you a meal that you haven't had in awile or if just the two of you could go for a walk.
