Yes like wat Casca said pay your parents first so next christmas you cant pay for the gifts.

Hey, I know what you should do. This is the way its goin down. [Insert masterful plan here] That is what you need to do. JK How about sell some stuff like video games, lamp, books, furniture, bed, and then maybe do some recycling. Get a large bow from Wal-Mart or some shit, and put it on your head, then on christmas, go up to your girl and be like" I think santa left one more gift. ME!" Then kiss her or eat her out. IDK? Oh and to deal with your parents, tell them that they can't take physical objects to heaven and that you will kiss their ass so hard, to pay back for light, your face is painted brown. Good luck.

First off your friend should be your slave after him not being able to pay you $800. Second i have seen peole who did this. And you should really tell her everything. Tell her this. "Look. I can't get you a gift for christmas. And i really hate that. But my friend broke an (I really did not get what you said. an $800 dollar light? idk) $800 dollar item that belonged to my parents. And my parents want me to pay for it. My friend can't give me the money now because he is slightly poor and he is going through a lot. I would love to give you a gift but baby (You can say anything you want. You don't have to say baby.) i can't afford it now. Can you forgive me?" Well i did what i could. If she fusses you out for not giving her anything for X-Mas then i have no idea what to say....well i do...but it might piss you off. So. Does this helP?
