There is no ethical gift giving or getting under a capitalistic society. All you are doing is stealing or receiving the labor of other souls. So, suck it.

We agreed a while ago, my brother and I don't do gifts. The niece and nephew are just out of university so we want nothing from them other than a visit since they need the money they get. We always give them cash which is always welcome. Best by far though was spending the day together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what kind of a day you've had you walk through the door to a wagging tail that is so happy to see you and things change. That bad day disappears instantly. They are also proven to be good for your health. What kind of puppy did you get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my wife's side of the family the adults don't exchange gifts anymore. Everyone is scattered around the US and world. So we do a Secret Santa draw and your gift is a poem, skit or song for the person you are drawn. Make a video of it and post it on our family's group on Facebook. Some are sentimental but most are very comical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
