Christmas Gifts Suck!
Don’t get me wrong. I love Christmas! It’s the best time of the year to relax and spend some precious time with my family for a week or two. But this whole gift exchange thing really sucks!
I am so stuck with the following questions and have no idea what the heck I should do..
- My parents don’t really care about material stuff. It burns my brain every year to figure out what the heck to give to them. They don’t need much and they don’t really know how to play with the hot techie toys on the market. I once bought a USB flash memory for my Dad when that thing just came out. It cost me nearly 100 bucks in 2003 and last Thanksgiving when I went home, it was still sitting in a box. It’s Dec 17, and I am still scratching my head…
- My guy is a very simple man who is living in a simple life. He loves high tech gadgets but is very careful with his money. If I buy an expensive toy, he’d feel he would disappoint me if he wasn’t prepared to do the same. If I buy him something simple but useful, then I’d feel bad if he shows up with a big nice super trendy toy. So… Video iPod? Camera? Tool box? Basketball? Or a big nice kiss??!! It hurts my brain when I think about this…
- I am going to a friend’s Christmas holiday dinner. I am close to only one girl but a few others will be there too. Should I just not care and bring one gift only or be polite to buy everyone a gift?
Valentine ’s Day is even worse. Those people who don’t have Valentines feel sad with no gifts while those ones who do have Valentines have to go through another round of the find-that-perfect-gift exercise without having enough time to recover from the Christmas brain and wallet damage.
It’s nice to give and receive gifts when we need to, such as on a BIG and SPECIAL occasion. But if we have to buy nice gifts 6 times a year to cover Valentine’s day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Anniversary, Birthday and Christmas, that’s just getting way too much.
