Advice

How do you tell someone what they are doing is wrong. I don't want to be mean or sound stuck up to this person but that is what they would say if I said something. This person is my friend and I want to do something but I don't know how to bring up the subject. I know it should be discussed in private but should I tell this person's parents. How should I bring up the subject with them?

Christmas

I love Christmas and it is also my birthday. On top of that it is my eighteenth birthday, so I am really excited. Every year I have a birthday party with just two or three of my closest friends. It is also like a Christmas party. My friends give me a birthday/Christmas gift and I give them a Christmas gift.

Here is my Christmas dilemma. One of my friends is cheap, very cheap. I know that they don't have to get me a gift and all that but it kind of makes me mad. I put an effort into their gifts to put together what they would like and she doesn't. This person already told me that she was going to just get me a three dollar bath set from Walmart(which she is getting for everyone else). I know I should just be grateful for what I get and that Christmas is not just about the gifts but it just doesn't seem right. It is my eighteenth birthday.

Here is my question. Is it OK for me to give one friend more/better Christmas gifts then the other one. My point is that I am closer to this friend, she gives me better gifts, and she is just nicer too. I feel bad about it so should I just give them the same gifts or should I just give them the gifts i picked out for them and not say anything. I don't want to be rude but the one friend is more important then the other.
