Another thing about Christmas. . .
 

It is so frustrating when you think you're done Xmas shopping and someone not on your list drops by and gives you an Xmas present.

Aw, fuck em, selfish bastards.

Aren't I the selfish one? I'm the one thinking "I'm only getting presents for family. . .and now one of my friends gave me a Christmas present. . . fuck. . . the implications. . ."

Happens to me all the time. Generally, I just buy gifts for my immediate family. Then if someone I know gives me a gift, I just say "oh I haven't wrapped your present yet" or just something to buy enough time for me to run out and get something.

It is a little awkward, inn't it. Damn these holidays.

It's never happened to me, but I can see how it would be a tight situation. I dislike it when you put a lot of effort into someone's present and you get something like money in return. Money just makes it seem unthoughtful. I always put a lot into gifts.

I told one of my friends that I just finished christmas shopping (for him too) and he said "What? You're getting me something and I don't have to get you somethnig back? Sweet deal". I don't care if someone isn't able to afford something back, but that's just rude.

i don't do gifts. i do cash.

I've an idea, don't fucking celebrate it, then.

Sometimes money is the best gift IMO. But then again, I'm poor.

yeah, but you cant just go up and say 'heres some money!'

put it in an envelope
