I am telled to just wait until I see what Im gifted. I open the gift, and its a shiny red car that I couldnt care less about, yet you love it, so you just take it and have lots of fun with it. Then, they tell us that they dont know if they have enough money to buy me and other kids the toys we wanted, and that the toys you got are missing the shiny purple glitter they were announced with. I decide, with other kids, to go and ask to get my toys, and then you come and tell me Im selfish because your shiny car dosent have the purple glitter and I should not get anything until you get your glitter.

Thats my line of though on this
Except you neglect the fact that you've enjoyed the toys you had over the past several years without a second thought. This toy that you wanted was also never promised to you. So your example falls to pieces at the base level. Meanwhile, the toys others got were expected because one of the other children went into the closet and peeked, then telling all the others. Yet you, and many others, chose not to believe the one that peeked and leaked this information. Also, let us not forget that the ones purchasing the toys specifically told you that "Hey, they're gonna get the stuffed bunny rabbit, but it's going to have a bow in its hair. The toy you wanted will have to be something different, like a hot wheels car or something." So if you ignored all of this and feel cheated, it's on you. We have what we have, and the hot wheels car and the bunny are missing things. Things like fur, and paint/decals. Need I carry on further?
