[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gift giving is part of Christmas and "the holidays" more generally. You don't get to rewrite out traditions to suit yourself.[/quote] NP here and I don’t necessarily love OP’s tone, but I agree with the premise. In fact the materialism is by far my least favorite part of the holidays. Why isn’t time off school/work to cook yummy food and spend with loved ones enough of a tradition? And who says you can’t rewrite tradition? Pretty sure traditions evolve over time. All this gift giving won’t be as fun if we’re sitting in landfills of plastic to do it. Honestly, there’s really no reason for grown adults to be giving gifts to each other, save the gift giving for the kids and even then make it a moderate amount so the children can actually enjoy them instead of experiencing sensory overload.
