[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$0.  We don't do gifts.  We don't have kids but DH and I don't buy gifts for each other or any family members or friends.  We also don't receive any gifts.  We used to send out holiday cards but aren't doing that this year.  [/quote]

Do you give any non material expressions of love and gratitude for the season or are you part of a strong religion that forbids such friendly manifestations of joy?  Seriously curious. [/quote]

I'm the poster above.  No, we don't give any non material expressions for the season, nor are we part of a religion that forbids such things.  We just don't believe in giving gifts for the sake of giving gifts.  We don't do gifts for birthdays or anniversaries either.  If DH or I want something, we buy it for ourselves.  If I want a sweater, and DH gets it for me for the holidays, wouldn't it just be easier if I went out and bought it myself?  What good is it if I tell DH what I want and he is the one to go out and get it for me?  Doesn't make much sense to me.  We don't get holiday gifts either from family or friends.  We used to send out holiday cards but aren't bothering with that anymore because we only got one or two in return, seemed like a waste of time.[/quote]
