One last rant

Yes, please allow me one more rant about people who give gifts they can’t really afford. Most of the time, I really can’t afford to buy gifts for everyone I know. Sometimes it is hard enough for me to budget in gifts for my own kids! So I don’t give gifts and I don’t expect them either.

Now if you are going to give me gifts, I am happy to receive them. I am appreciative. But there is one always that one person that I wish I never got a gift from. Right now, I am wishing I can give the gift back.

Now don’t give and then complain to the recipient later on about how much you spent buying gifts and now you are broke? WTF!! Sometimes I can’t figure out if some of these people are just crass or just clueless.

  1. hi mec, sorry, I’m still tweaking this blog. I didn’t realize you had found me here :)

    I agree about giving kids presents. We should let them be kids for as long as possible and Christmas is one of those events that just brings the kids out in all of us. It’s the adults with their misguided ideas that mess things up.

  2. last Christmas, hubs and I didn’t give gifts, even to nieces and nephews. It didn’t sit well with us so we’ve decided that come next Christmas, we’d give them gifts… even cheap ones, as long as they’d have something to unwrap :)

    but i get your point… I also make it a point not to spend money I don’t have… and neither do I give gifts to save face or look good…

    anyway, here’s to a happier new year for us all… hoping for more intersting experiences for you…
