[quote=Anonymous]It is not "selfish" of a grown adult to choose to celebrate Christmas without buying presents for other adults. The proper etiquette when given a gift is to say thank you and express sincere gratitude. It is NOT proper etiquette to feel that you are owed a gift just because you choose to give a gift. I told my family years ago that I am no longer buying Christmas gifts for adults. Some adults in my family still choose to give me presents; I say thank you. But I do not feel obligated to celebrate Christmas by buying gifts for well-to-do adults who literally do not need or want for a single thing. You are seriously, seriously on the wrong side of etiquette to think that someone is obligated to get you a gift just because you chose to give them a gift.[/quote]
