Top 10 Christmas Presents that Teenagers Want to Receive and Give: A Poll
Money was Top Answer but Others Might Surprise You
There was only one high school student that listed all kinds of electronics and video games on his Santa Claus list, but said he would not give anything to his parents. I suggested to this student that he watch the classic Christmas movie A Christmas Carol with Scrooge and Tiny Tim to help influence his perspective on giving and receiving. But, there is still Holiday goodness to be found in most all teenagers. Here are the poll results with some surprising answers for the Top 10 Christmas presents teenagers want to receive and give.

Post a Commenti think the one thing on my christmas list that i want the most would have to be the photo printer and the scrapbook and supplies of choice to get with it......most teenage girls are very creative and like designing things!! And what a better way than to make a scrapbook with your memories!!! :)
okay im 13 this year and i dont know what i want for christmas
Im turning 13 and I'm a girly girl.I have exactly 87 different lipstick/lip glosses.(I know pathetic to count each one but I was board)I already have an ipod,D.S.,Xbox 360,phone,computer,bunch of nail polish,bunch of clothes, and hair stuff. What should I ask for?
Parents get from their teens:
How bout nothing ? :-(
