Good for you!
Some in my family slip up the last couple of years and given presents during holidays - but after the “hey, stop doing that - we aren’t doing this anymore” speech - hopefully they’ll stop.(especially blatant re-gifts - lol)
If you see something neat for someone and know they must have it - buy it and give it to them - don’t wait for a Hallmark holiday to do it :)
The commercialization of set-forced, guilt ridden holidays has destroyed glad tidings, goodwill and charity.
Over the years the thousands that have been saved has come in handy to pay ever increasing property taxes and gas :>(
I tell you what, Christmas is stress-free for me now. I enjoy the pretty lights and the time off work, and that’s all it is.
