My biggest problem this time of year

I ask for a rain check. First world problem :-)

The things I want can't be bought or they're too expensive
I either want my mental illnesses cured or an Xbox one
But we're broke

You can ask for experiences like going somewhere and doing something together.

Maybe you can ask for things and donate them?

In recent years, I've gotten things for when I move out, like cookware, glasses, mixing bowls, etc. Sure it's not really useful now, but when the time comes, I'll already have a bunch of necessities I won't need to buy.

I know the feels, through out the year you know exactly what you want until Christmas comes around

I know the exact feeling... Try being born on December 24th. Every year sucks
