I know I am, and spoilt too

Ok so DH finally caved in after 7 years and bought me my dream Christmas present, a kitten. He's delightful and I love him. This means that I won't have anything at all to open on Christmas morning as the present from the DC and any others from relatives will be Boxing Day. This makes me feel a bit sad and grumpy. WIBU to expect a tiny pressie on the day? Just a mug or a £5 sweet bracelet or similar.

I am sure that the kitten will give you more than 1 present on Christmas day

Awwww. To cute.

OH got me well us a kitten for my birthday many years ago. We didn't get her until a month after the actual day though so I had nothing in the actual day. We were in Kefalonia for my actual birthday so I guess I can't complain. .. and I didn't. I was spoiled rotten that year

Just to add the kitten / holiday was many years ago. Now I'm lucky if I get a card. The kitten is also now a 7 year old (spoilt) cat.

YOU HAVE A KITTEN

YANBU though, a little something to open would be nice. Even if it's kitten treats.

I expect the kitten will leave you a few presents on xmas day!

I didn't receive a single present at Christmas (or birthdays, etc) for decades (and I'm not complaining, it's just how things are). One friend, realising (not because I'd mentioned it but because I have no (adult) family or DP and she put two and two together), has recently, very thoughtfully and kindly started giving me a gift at Christmas. I treasure that one gift! It is the only gift I will receive throughout the year. My children are so happy to see I have something to open too.

I'm not saying YABU, as such but I do feel you're fortunate :)
