Most gifts are lousy gifts. Pardon my humbug, but years ago, our family agreed that we would get holiday gifts (we’re Jewish) for the kids, but for the adults, we’d save our money and buy what we want for ourselves, instead of wasting all that money buying gifts that nobody wants. My wife is hard to convince. She never goes anywhere without taking gifts - any occasion, or no occasion.
And, as a recult, we are backsliding, and for this past holiday, I bought her something that I knew she wanted, and I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t remember what she got me. I guess my humbugs are going unheeded.
I’m Jewish too but my family is Christian. (I’m a convert). I don’t celebrate Christmas but I visit my family and exchange gifts. I did get some things for Hanukkah,too.
