No worries man. It's the nature of it all. The person on the other side understands. Now drink wine and be merry.

I absolutely hate Christmas sometimes, primarily because I have 7 people in my in my house (my immediate family), and buying even two gifts can get frustrating. I'm okay with it because I can presents easily by just asking the person to give me a list of things they may want.
My mom's birthday is the 24th and my dad's is the 30th, which just makes it worse. I never know if I should buy two presents, or just give them a big one on Christmas. Or New Years. It's hard to say.
I completely agree that sometimes it's just best to give to charity. Makes more sense. I know that my family uses about 50% of the gifts we get, and therefore it's useless.

i've come up with a genius gift. my wife and i are doing the rounds, visiting several branches of the family, etc. Instead of a traditional gift i'm going to have my "member" hanging out of my pants the moment we walk in the door. I'll keep it out for a few minutes until I'm sure everyone present has seen it. I will then ask for everyone's attention and in a ceremonious fashion I will announce "For you all I give you this gift" I will then put my penis back into my pants and zip the fly and declare "Merry Christmas to you all!"

yeah, I'm over the whole gift giving thing too. i just paint people pictures.... that usually works out. People really like handmade gifts.

we're actually doing the homemade thing too this year. we're giving homemade red onion marmalade and homemade spicy honey roasted peanuts. both go great with wine or beer so for the folks higher up on the gift list (parents, closest friends, etc) we're also giving a bottle of wine.

I completely agree. I find the whole ritual increasingly bizzare and meaningless each year.
I feel like I have to participate even though I don't want to. I'm made to feel like a scrooge - I just find this hysterical consumption/consumerism repulsive.
That is on top of the fact - the stuff I get I neither want or need. Often it shows how little people know each other.
Next year I'm going to ask for donations or to buy a goat for a family in Africa or something.

hysterical consumption and consumerism -- that's christmas!
It's Christmas time again
It's time to be nice to the people you can't stand
All year
I'm growing tired of all this Christmas cheer
You people scare me
Please stay away from my home
If you don't wanna get beat down
Just leave the presents and then leave me aloneI Won't Be Home For Christmas
