It’s the season of giving, but one sister seems to have taken it too far in her family’s Secret Santa gift exchange. Steph, a 17-year-old with a flair for the dramatic, has her heart set on a very specific gift – a custom tie-dyed hoodie. But when her older sibling, a busy law student, draws her name and refuses to play DIY fashion designer, the holiday cheer takes a dramatic nosedive.

The Great Holiday Hoodie Hullabaloo: Who’s in the Right? ♀️
In a whirlwind of holiday drama, one law student finds themselves in the middle of a Secret Santa showdown. Their younger sister, Steph, demands not just a hoodie, but a custom tie-dyed one. The law student, already strained for time, calls her out for her entitled request. Mom sides with the law student, suggesting Steph dye the hoodie herself. But Steph’s not having it, insisting her Secret Santa fulfill her exact wish. When her demands are not met, she cancels the whole event. While the law student, mom, and another sister believe they’re in the right, dad suggests the law student’s attitude could have been better. So, who’s really in the wrong here? Let’s see what the internet has to say…
