AITAH for getting upset about an advent calendar?
This all happened not too long ago , but im just kinda annoyed. Basically in november me and three of my friends said that we would make advent calendars for eachother. We all pulled random names and made the calendars . I didnt have a problem with mine or the one i got , i actually really love the one i got.So to use some some fake names i will call my friends amy , erica , and ava. I got amy and ava got me the entirety of november i was sooooo excited to make and reicieve a calendar . We set a budget of 25 euros , but i spent maybe like double that because of how excited i was. I put soo much time , money and effort into making the calendar for amy i was just so excited. Then we got our calendars on dec 2 (because we all forgot them on dec 1) and i was so happy. Ava was also soo excited cus she knows that i give awesome presents.We all opened the 2 presents and it was awesome, but later at school they started opening more and more doors . I didnt but they just kept on saying they were too excited , especially erica. I kind of didnt like that but i was just like fine it doesnt matter. The next day i show up to sports class and while im waiting there with my friends including ava, erica , amy and our 2 other friends one of them tells me that all of them opened their ENTIRE CALENDAR and it was the 3 of dec. I was very visibly annoyed , cus like what do mean i just spent so much time on this thing that you opened in 1 day??!!?? My other friend was pointing out that i looked very annoyed and was ridiculing amy a bit saying things like shes so upset why did you open it all already and was also talking to my other friends too. The answwr that she gave was genuinely so annoyingly agitating to me. She said that she "really liked the presents and appreciated them and thats all that matters". I was soo upset cus then she also started saying that " the perfume smells soo good". THE PERFUME WAS ON DAY 24 AND GUESS WHY IT SMELLS SO GOOD?!?BECAUSE I WAS IN DM WITH MY FRIEND FOR LIKE AN HOUR AND A HALF SNIFFING DIFFERENT PERFUMES . I didnt yell or anything but like its and advent calendar The whole point is being excited for each day until Christmas and having a little suprise to look forward to Each day. At least thats what i think , so im not really mad im just kind of annoyed and sad and i definitely don't want to do thus again next year like it just ruined it for me. Well what do you guys think?Is my reacting like this valid or am i just overreacting?
