I read this small article yesterday and felt like sharing it with everyone:

I think thats a pretty cool idea. I grew up in family that never prioritized presents - it was always dinner with family and usually token presents afterward.

Being in a different location now and with husbands family, I found rules in America different and a bit shocking. I am very glad to say that my other part of heart doesnt pay much attention to presents either, and offered a present-less Christmases in future. I felt a huge relief. We tend to do small niceties to each other during year that come unasked / no special event, and they feel a lot more right thing to do and much nicer.

I think that small symbolic presents during Christmas are okay to show that you think of someone. (but not extravagant)


How do you feel / whats your opinion / what kind of culture did you grow up in related to this? I am curious how people feel about this topic.
