Is It Acceptable To Ask For A Christmas Gift?

As a child we all asked for gifts. But as an adult I don't ask for anything. I think it is ok for someone to ask what you want for Christmas, but I dont ask for gifts. A gift should be given because a person wants to give the gift not because they are obligated to do so.

Hi july teen: I honestly don't ask for a gift because, in my opinion gifts must be an espontaneous way to say I love you and it's not an obligation. If someone give me a Christmas gift I'll be glad and it will be a nice surprise, if not I won't feel bad either. Thanks for asking us this question. Merry Christmas. ALVARO

Hello july, I find it inappropriate to ASK for gifts, except the case where the loved one hints his lover about what he / she would like - but not even then is it asking or demanding but rather suggesting - and that does not make it mandatory for purchase. I don't think my mylot friends would mind if i would ask them to... visit a site for example, but they probably smile and decline me more or less politely if i were to ask a gift from amazon for instance.

if it's in a joke way, for me it's ok. I'll take it as it is. hehehe.. a lot of people i know would ask me for a Christmas gift but it's always a kid. well, some people from the office gave me some little stuff as an early gift 'cause they're going home and they might not be able to give it before Christmas. big thanks..

I think we can lose the true meaning of Christmas when we ask to reeive a gift. A christmas gift should be given from one to another when the heart is felt compelled to do so. Asking for a gift is not what Christmas should be about. We all like to get a gift at Christmas. it shows that someone cares about us. it should just be up to the giver of the gift and not the reeiver/

Of course not! Asking for a gift is something I think is incompressible. I would never ask for a Christmas gift, neither to my family nor my friends. I accept gifts that are sincerely given to me. I may not like some gifts I receive, but I know that are expressions of the love they give to you.

I think it is tacky for people to ask for a gift from people on Mylot and Facebook. Anyone on Facebook or Mylot ask me for a gift, I would delete them from my friend list.

hi julyteen I think you misunderstand face book as the gift thing just has something to do with gifts for their farm game etc, those are not christmas gifts and as I do not want t o waste time playing games I ignore those who ask for game piece gifts, I would never go around on n mylot asking for gifts and for one thing do that in a discussion it breaks mylot rule about not asking for gifts or donations.so do not try that in any discussion julyteen.pm maybe but I sure would not do that.If I had to ask anyone for a gift I would die of embarrassment ast that is not cool .gifts must be given freely and from the heart.

No I never ever asked anyone for a Christmas gift even if I only meant to joke because I never knew what the person is going to say about it. Even to my partner, I'm still afraid to ask because I don't want to give him a pressure. I was ever asked by few in the past and for this month, so I just smile and did not say anything. I had no idea how to react right to that kind of request LOL. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day
