Should I be ashamed?

Is it "unfair" to plan your own Christmas gifts with your family? I haven't thought about it before.
Maybe it's greedy?

I 've been thinking it's better to let them know approximately what I'd like, rather than having them spend money on stuff I really didn't need. And this way I can controll the amount of money they spend. Let me get the expensive stuff myself and they can fill in with the heartwarming extras that I wouldn't buy myself.


I'm such a child. 8-)
