I watched this probably three times, because it is hilarious! I was not always a book lover, so I understand how this kid feels. Books, after all, are not toys.
Unlike him, I hope I get LOTS of books for Christmas! Which ones are you hoping for?

Oh man! Books are my favorite gift. This kid is too funny. We don’t exchange gifts in my family anymore, so no books this year, but I get to buy textbooks in a few weeks which I’m excited about.
I actually love buying textbooks too! Reading them? Not so much…
Lol. Yeah, I’m not such a fan of reading them, but I still do. Too many times in undergrad I didn’t do the reading and was lost…
Oh WOW… that is hilarious, I am CRYING. Not only is that child adorable, he is absolutely hilarious! I loved books even when I was little, so I can’t relate to it but I felt that way getting clothes… such a let down :P I’ve watched this no less than 5 times already… and I’ve just called my BF in to watch it now! Thanks so much for sharing this Jana!
Oh, CLOTHES. I loathed getting clothes for Christmas! So glad you loved this!
I know, they were AWFUL weren’t they lol. I actually found a second part to this video! It’s the next year and they gave the boy books again… amazing reaction! I found it by just going to their main youtube page (haha, I went there so I could favorite it, because I love it that much!).
That video is hilarious! Meanwhile, I got an Amazon gift certificate from my husband for Christmas (we did presents today, because we are going to my Mom’s for Christmas), and all the money is going towards books!
As amusing as this is, he’s a little too old to allow such an ungrateful response. The parents may have explained the books and what Christmas presents really represent to him later, I don’t know. But I hope that there was at least SOME discussion that his behavior was unacceptable.
Christina, I totally agree. Even three year olds should know how to be grateful. But I also kind of love his brutal honesty. I work with children, and this is just how they are! They have no filter. There’s a follow-up with him a year later, where he gets books for Christmas again and is super excited. He was oblivious to the fact that he had this tantrum a year earlier. :) I hope he laughs about this one day.
Oh, great! It’s so weird that ever since my baby sister was born I seem to have a mom filter already, hahaha. I’m so relived to know that he joined the reading ranks eventually ;)
This poor kid! Still, I hope his parents explained why they gave him books and encouraged him to read. I loved books, so it was always a treat to receive them when I was a kid. That certainly hasn’t changed as I’ve gotten older. In fact, the need to receive books at any and all times has probably intensified!
Hehe. I think his parents did explain. I found a video of him on Christmas a year later, and he opened another present that ended up being books. He was SO excited! It’s adorable!
And I SO know what you mean about wanting books more than ever. I feel like I can’t get enough!
haha too funny. I love getting books for Christmas as well :) Did you watch the year later one. He changed his tune :D
I did see that! So cute!
Oh dear, I guess that kid wasn’t too happy about books?
I’m hoping for vouchers on “The Big Day” as my wish list is ever increasing, thanks to book hauls and spotting books on Amazon.
Hope you get the books that you want.
SOOOO funny, I had to borrow
