i think spoiled is really a relative term. because otherwise that means that anyone whose parents are quite well off is spoiled. people who have more money for any reason or another can afford more things to give out. hey, if your family had the same amount of money most of you would probably get similar presents. i think spoiled kids are those who demand everything from their parents and throw a complete fit if they do not get whatever they want. i know plenty of kids who are rich but are totally thankful for everything they get, they are most certainly not spoiled. i think people who wish they could have got those things are just jealous and call the kid spoiled.

My mom got me a trip to Whistler this summer, which should be really cool. My mom, sister, and a good friend of mine are all going. I bought myself a Porter Frame, a TLD Moto X helmet, and a new cell phone. My grandmother also gve me some magazines and $100.

I think I enjoyed the time with my family more than most. I'm only 16 and like across the country from my family. So I don't care what I get, as long as my mom and siter are there.

As for the gifts I gave, I bought my sister a poker set, a shocking pen(joke), a Burton sweatshirt, and a bottle of crystal champaign.
My mom, I got her a new cell phone and upgraded her plan, and a set of new house phones, one base and 2 portables.
I got my moms boyfriend a gift card to a local store he likes,
and my best friend, I got him a really kick ass multi-tool, and a giftcard to the LBS.

I spent alot of money, but it's all worth it. My wallet is pretty sad though.

Very true way to go

You'll love the tld helmet i have one and even though it was expensive as hell it was worth. i used it at over 25 moto-x races and it still looks mint

Got this and ODI Ruffians for Xmas, and I got a Perf trainer, front wheel block and computer so I can use the commuter bike to whip myself back into shape this winter. Don't want the kiddies at Whistler making me look too old this summer.
