no christmas present?
so one of my good friends was like OMG I WANT SOMETHING FROM AMERICAN EAGLE and she was like im getting you that scarf that you really wanted so i kind of made my mom go to the mall for her to buy her mittens and gloves from american eagle, which my mom didnt really want to but i was like "mom shes getting me a expensive scarf that i really wanted" next day all i find in my locker is a card...it just said "merry christmas" my mom has been asking, can i see the scarf? is it nice? and i've been having to say i didnt get it yet because it didnt come in the mail yet, cause if my mom found out she didnt get me anything she'd flip, what should i do about this?

Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
well, youll have to tell your momsonner or later cause that excuse wont work for much longer
but next time i would by your friends gifts that you feel right
and also i would kinda point it out to your friend, discreatly tho because it was mean of her to do that.

I just want to remind you of the reason for the season. It is not about the amount you pay for a gift, but the thought that counts. If she were to tell you she was buying you a brand new car, you wouldn't go and buy her a house because you felt obligated to. Next time someone says they are buying you an expensive gift, remember to say thank you and give them something in return that is within your means to accomodate.
About your mom, honesty is the best policy. Sure, she may get upset that she went and spent a small fortune on a pair of mittens for someone that she doesn't have a relationship for, but she did it for you. If your mom is willing to go all out for a friend because she loves you and wants to make you happy, then I would repay her with the same respect and courtesy that she gives you and deserves. Also, remember that you are a victim in this too. You assumed that she was going to hold up to her end of the deal, and because she didn't it was no way your fault. A true mom that thinks logically would see that. It may upset her at first, but it shouldn't be at you.
Good Luck.

Well, you need to tell your mom. Seriously, it can't be forever "not coming in the mail" and she will figure it out sooner or later. Best to just tell her rather than have her catch you in that lie.
You have learned an important lesson- don't get someone something expensive just because they say they're getting you something expensive. They should appreciate getting something you put thought and effort into, not the price tag hanging on it.
