Mrs. Scrooge is alive and well and lives inside OP's Grandma. Grandma has a Christmas tradition of opening presents with her granddaughters every year. That sounds normal. The abnormal part is the fact that Grandma only gets thoughtful and expensive gifts for one granddaughter and lackluster/off-brand gifts for the other. There are very clear distinctions and OP is fed up. She actually confronted her grandmother about this behavior. OP thought her grandmother was trying to rectify her behavior but it only got 100 times worse. Keep reading for the juicy details.

    Font - AITA for refusing to return a Christmas gift from my grandmother?

    Font - I (19F) have a cousin that's one year younger than me. Her mom and my dad are siblings and very close, and we're both only children so we were raised practically like sisters.

    Font - So, our Nana would always make us come on different days before Christmas to make us open our presents from her. Maybe to make sure we never saw each other's stuff as we opened them. But later I would go to my cousin's house and see her with all of these

    Font - nice, wonderful gifts and get confused and upset. My stuff was never that nice or expensive. After a few years, I began to realize that I was getting the second best stuff.

    Font - If my cousin got Nike shoes for Christmas, I would get $10 shoes from a local store. If she got a new camera, I would get a disposable one. My clothes wouldn't be namebrand like hers. She would even get more than me sometimes. I tried really hard not to let it bother me, but it was hard not to get jealous when I saw her stuff constantly.

    Font - Last year, I got into an argument with my Nana and blew up on her. I accused her of favoritism and demanded we not get Christmas presents this year from her. We were old enough not to need presents and I always felt like she got mine more out of obligation than joy. She denied it strongly

    Font - but said she would "try harder if I felt like that". I agreed to another Christmas with her. A week ago, I went to my grandma's house by myself, a day before my cousin. Most of my gifts were lackluster, but I appreciated the thought and effort she put in because it was closer to what I liked than usual. One of my gifts though made me feel great.

    Font - A pair of round cut diamond earrings. They were gorgeous and made of 10K yellow gold. Obviously very pricey. I'd never been given something so expensive before (When I looked them up later, I found them to be over $400.) I immediately thanked her for my earrings. I was smiling the whole time and so was Nana. It felt like she finally understood what I had felt and was making up for years of treating me differently.

    Font - The next day, however, she called and said I needed to bring one of my presents back. My cousin's earrings and mine had been swapped because she mislabeled our presents and she hadn't realized I had the wrong ones. I was suspicious and I texted my cousin and asked for a picture of my actual gift.

    Font - Cubic Zirconia. They looked sort of similar with the shape and the color. Furious, I refused to return the earrings. They had been labeled with my name and I was so happy to have them. My grandma should've pointed it out to me before I left with them. I said these would make up for all the favoritism over the years.

    Font - Even now, a week later and close to Christmas, my grandma is hounding me about them. She's called me selfish and greedy and told me I ruined my cousin's Christmas. Even my cousin won't speak to me because I stole her 'diamonds' and refuses to acknowledge that she always got better stuff. Aita??
