It’s normal to feel disappointed: Clinical psychologist and author Dr Rebecca Ray says feeling disappointed by a lacklustre Christmas gift is normal. “It’s common to feel awkward, disappointed, or even guilty because the gift doesn’t suit your needs or taste,” she says. “These feelings often arise from wanting to appreciate the thought behind the gift but struggling with its practical or personal value.”
How to react to a bad gift: If you are close to the gift-giver and feel comfortable, it may be acceptable to tell them in a kind and respectful way, such as asking if you may exchange the colour or style
However, if your relationship isn’t like this, she suggests handling the situation with grace. “Focus on their thoughtfulness and use a warm tone and maintain eye contact to show genuine appreciation for their effort.”
If you have been hurt, abused, or manipulated by family, it causes deep scars which seem to always surface over the holidays. If you find yourself nodding “YES,” you are not alone.
