I hate Christmas, I got a early gift from my parents, am not materialistic and it does nothing to me, but i am grateful of the thought but I don't know how to react. There just want me to be happy and I don't think I know how to show that I am grateful, so now am filled with guilt and falling into depression because I don't know how to show emotion and they probably think am a a***hole.

I used to feel the same about receiving gifts.
We now have a "no present policy".
We will have a get together, but strictly no presents. If anyone does bring a gift, it is given to charity.
