I was going to a friend's house cross country and I knew I was going to be there for a week and he was not a coffee drinker. I ordered a tiny little single coffee maker. It was like 12 bucks on Amazon and had it shipped to his house. So when I got there, it was there, and then I just put the little tiny machine in my suitcase. And brought it home. I think if coffee is that big of a deal like it is to me. It's up to you to make sure that you have it. Otherwise, don't expect other people to prioritize coffee like you do.
Or, hey, there is a coffee shop down the street, you like coffee, ill buy you a coffee and we can talk and get to know each other. But its also obvious the girlfriend gets everything she wants and like the boyfriend spoils her and or girlfriend is spoiled and one bad thing happens (like not having a coffee maker) and the whole trip is ruined
that coffee GF is the worst guest ever. We raised our white elephant from $25 to $30 this year 😂 some people don't play and still have fun watching the fun. Can't they just go anyway and eat and drink and laugh on the sidelines?
1. Go to a coffee shop and get a coffee. They don't drink coffee so don't expect them to buy a coffee pot and stuff to make it for a once a year visit. 2. No way I'm participating in a $250 white elephant gift exchange, even with family! They are crazy. 3. Boyfriend is going to be an ex if he doesn't get his 💩 together and start respecting his girlfriend's wishes. 🚩🚩
Huge pet peeve of mine is when people call any old exchanging of gifts a White Elephant -- if the gifts are anything other than amusing/impractical, it is simply a gift exchange, not a White Elephant.
@ the whole entire point! At one of my old jobs we did an annual *true* white elephant and it was a highlight of the year! So much fun to see what people would come up with!
For the coffee guest, she shouldn't have to buy a coffee maker for that one person. If the host wants, they can just buy the small instant coffee for the guest, and if the guest don't like it, well, oh well for the guest. Guest needs to stay home.
As a coffee drinker, if im in vacation or just away from home i will find the nearst coffee shop or cafe and get my iced lattes from there...i dont expect people to have it on hand for me, heck i dont even like hotel room coffee, nope, i will walk of drive out of my way to go get what i want, 2 min drive is heaven! That gf should have just gone...sheesh what a Karen!
I have gone on vacation to a air B&B that didn’t have a coffee maker I bought cold crew and instant coffee not a big deal even more so since she asked if she could buy her coffee.
to the person who's family said she was petty for not wanting to spend $250 on one gift , if her family knows she hasn't got the money they should understand, if not please explain your situation to your mom and hopefully they won't expect you to chip in
For the coffee one, they can get instant coffee to have on hand. In no way should they have to keep a coffee maker for someone who might come every other year. Plus, she's the GF of a friend. She's there as a plus one. She knows they dont have coffee there. It's up to the GF, as the asshole For the white elephant one, skip it. The fact her parents and some siblings said she was overacting was brutal. I can imagine being in that family. Sounds like their the black sheep. $250 for a gift, let alone a white elephant gift, is crazy. You should not be expected to go into debt for gifts. If they can't afford gift giving due to a crap, expensive year, then no one gets a gift. And if it's all about being together, dad, then don't say they're overacting. Rude. That whole family are assholes, not the writer. That last one giving the keys out, definitely the asshole. Doing as he pleases and then apologizing doesn't work. This isn't a case of "it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission." I feel bad for his GF. He definitely doesn't consider her feelings about this, I imagine he's like that with everything. Trying to make himself sound like a guy trying to please everyone, he comes off as a dick instead. He even says his sister has been in their apartment without notice. She comes and goes as she pleases. That's not right and shouldn't be rewarded with a key. Dude, you're doing it wrong. You have no respect for your GFs feelings. You're the asshole. Thanks Christine, these were fun. 🎄
I would argue that the Christmas check it is for the adults too, what makes them happy is doing something for the children ,why not grandmother? Is that not the point of a Christmas gift? Giving what makes your loved ones happy?
White elephant gift girl needs a whole new family, what in the actual world! That is nuts, and her mom makes me sad. Why would you say that to your daughter??!! Offer to buy the gift for her if she can't afford it. Good grief, if I had to spend an extra 250 on anything at Christmas, it's probably because my car broke or my heat is out 😔
The nightmare coffee guest sounds like the worst kind of complainer…complaining just to complain 🤮 if she’s a hardcore people please tho, a French press is small and inexpensive! Or girl just make some cold brew and ya only needs grounds, a jar/tupperware, filter and water lol

3:07. She better sign those kids up for ski camp! Screw the in law lol 😂
14:00 it's a price "limit". Means don't go over $250. Take a pack of neon paperclips. 😉
You were spot on with all your comments. Good job Christine!! Loved this content.
Or get a kids playset coffee maker lmao
Sad little baby with no coffee. Waaawaaawaaa. I'm dying.
I suggest not getting a coffee maker and send her to a hotel
Hahaha..$250 of real maple syrup sadly won't fill a pallet but I love the dream 🥞🍁
that coffee GF is the worst guest ever.
We raised our white elephant from $25 to $30 this year 😂 some people don't play and still have fun watching the fun. Can't they just go anyway and eat and drink and laugh on the sidelines?
Lmao your response to the 2nd AITA! Loved ittttt!! ❤😂
9:30 if your guest KNOW you don't have a coffee maker because you dont DRINK coffee, why don't they come prepared???
Yea like pack some coffee packets and or go to the store there and buy the express coffee and take it with you home?

Thank you! My sister wants to do a white elephant gift exchange at Christmas but said no cheap corny gifts! What? That's the point! 😂
@ the whole entire point! At one of my old jobs we did an annual *true* white elephant and it was a highlight of the year! So much fun to see what people would come up with!
@ptkake08 Right!?! I've done that too at work and it was a riot! 🤣
You'll never hear me being opposed to "Bedtime Stories with Christine" 😅
Daylight savings is the worst!! Seasonal depression is real in NEPA! Getting dark at 430 is rid-donk-ulious 😂
For the coffee guest, she shouldn't have to buy a coffee maker for that one person. If the host wants, they can just buy the small instant coffee for the guest, and if the guest don't like it, well, oh well for the guest. Guest needs to stay home.
A gift should not come with stipulations. If they expect a certain thing to be purchased she should buy the gift
You can get individual pour of coffee pouches. They make one cup of coffee at a time! You just need hot water to pour of it!

the voodoo doll 😂😂😂
It would be hilarious if they bought a coffee maker and whole coffee beans with no way to grind them🤣 That’s what I would do!
Awaaaaayyyy- eth
I don't drink coffee but my husband drinks it like his job 😂.
The ending be like: well that escalated fast
The coffee girl made me cry 😅
Totally agree!
You remind me SOO much of my sister , although shes not as funny, she looks like you, you my love are a FREAKING DELIGHT ❤❤❤❤
Merry 'early' Christmas!!! 🎄 🎁 🎄💜
😮same girl same. Already screaming in solidarity at 3 seconds in
Omgggggg! Bed time stories with Christine would be so fun! You could do commentary or madlibs!
I cant believe people share that stuff on reddit. Crazy
As much as I love you, this is my favorite season… I thrive in this 🥰🥰
For the White Elephant gift, just bring $250 Monopoly money! Piss some people off!
I have gone on vacation to a air B&B that didn’t have a coffee maker I bought cold crew and instant coffee not a big deal even more so since she asked if she could buy her coffee.
Love your sweat shirt where did you get it ?? I'm a sweatshirt junkie 😅
