Yeah, it seems everything these days revolves around money, so I could see not wanting to be involved with that. But Christmas is different. Doesn't it feel awesome to give someone a gift? Watching their surprised face light up and fill with joy from such a simple gesture. How great do you feel when someone shows how much they love or appreciate you by giving you a gift? Gifts are love wrapped in paper. It doesn't have to be something you buy, you could even make something like cookies or an ornament. It's not really about the thing, rather the act of gratitude towards loved ones... unless it's secret santa, an obligated gift, then it's about things.
