i recently moved with my mom and brother just into town. i still go to the same school and everything. we dont have alot of money, while my friends do. i know for christmas i'm not going to get very much, and i'm ok with that.. but my friends go on about alll the stuff they're getting, and i dont want to hear about it. what's a polite way to tell them to just back off and shut up?

I know that must be hard on you and your family. i think you should try to change the subject or you can just say, "ur lucky! i wanted something like that, but i don't want to ask because i would feel bad." if they are good friends and they know about the situtation you are currently dealing with they'll stop. HOpe this helps!

if their your friends just be straight forward with them let them know how much it botheres you! and as friends they should understand this! happy holidays!

Just tell them that ur family dosnt have as much money as theirs do and if the could lay low with the talkin

screw being polite.. they wont get the message if you dont use some force. just tell them that you dont think its very fair for them to ramble on and on about how damn spolied they are. call them spoiled brats, that always seems to help.

Well I guess they cant help but be excited about what they are getting. I would just let them know though

Tell them if they would please not talk about getting presents in front of you, because you're not getting much, and it upsets you when they talk about getting presents! They'll understand! Good luck!
Hope I helped!

There really isn't a POLITE way. Tell them basicly what you said in the question.

ask them to talk about it when they aren't around you because you feel left out. tell them that you aren't getting much and just hearing your friends talk about all the presents they are getting makes you feel a little hurt. they will understand!!

hey sweetie * im not sure what you could tell them exactly, it just depends on how easily they get mad @ things, or upset! but then again, you don't want to feel akward or w/e because of their bragging. so if i was you i would just tell them how you feel. say something like 'listen, i don't mind you guys saying that your gonna buy each other gifts, don't get me wrong im just as excited for christmas as you are, but what gets to me, is how u brag on how much or how great everything is your getting. so if you don't mind, could you guys just maybe not talk about it as much when your around me?' and if they're good friends, i guarntee they will understand. well good luck hunny! merry x*mas!! <3 brittany

There's probably not that much you can say to them without making them mad or anything. They're probably just happy/excited that Christmas is coming. Just ignore them though. The best Christmas gift you can get is spending time with your family and friends, and I'm sure that's what you're getting. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas! :)
