Christmas is round the corner and it's the time of year where you get your Christmas trees out and start writing your wish lists. Every year I hear that their mum got them an Ipad or their dad got them an iphone and when they ask me 'Oh I didn't get anything'. It's been the same answer for 13 years. I've asked plenty of times why we can't have presents. 'Because we're not Christian, we're Buddhist.' I have a lot of Asian Buddhists friends who all get Christmas presents. I have one friend with a brother and sister and they have a tablet each. I'm not asking for an Ipad. I just would like something as a gist to fit in with my friends. I only got a present once in school from my secret Santa and it was sweets but my sister finished them all. Recently my friend got me a hot chocolate making set but my sister threw it out the window. When I told my dad he didn't do anything. I went outside and cleaned up the glass and marshmallows.
