Noone needs to make me feel worse about this - I already do.

My problem is what to tell her. If I lie and say its great, thanks, then she could send me more games in the future, and if she finds out I lied and got rid of it, she'd be upset and mad at me. However if I am honest she'll call me ungrateful and still get upset and hate me. So either way, she's going to get upset and it will be on my conscience.

What is the best way to handle it? Lie and avoid making her feel guilty, whilst hoping she doesn't find out (and risk more presents), or just be honest? Seems like two votes for lying, but I really don't want to unless its absolutely necessary.
