[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This has been suggested in my family but I am opposed. I don't care if I don't get gifts but I do love giving them. Yes, it IS extra work and money and it can be stressful, but its so worth it. To me, giving is just part of what makes Christmas special. I am not a fan of the gift-free "adult" Christmas. Some people sincerely want a return to a religious holiday, but really, for most they just want to do it to make their life easier. It feels selfish to me. [/quote] YOUR attitude feels selfish to me. :roll:[/quote] Huh. We replaced adult gifts with giving more to charity. We actually aren't religious at all, but I still can't wrap my head around how overconsumption is part of the Christmas spirit. Our family isn't filthy rich, but we can generally buy ourselves the things we want. Now we can focus on spending time together and enjoying each others' company. [/quote]
