what’s the deal with holiday presents? and what’s the deal with holiday wishlists? i say if you don’t already know what the person would like, you should not be buying them a present.

and for the people at work who you give a gift to represent that you think they are a fine coworker… how about you go right up to them, shake their hand and tell them what you like about working with them? to me, that would be a refreshing act of giving.

the holiday gift exchange ritual seems to be smoke and mirrors. you go and visit people you normally don’t see of which only some that you actually care about. you catch up on what’s happening, eat some food, exchange gifts and leave until the next major event. everyone leaves with an illusion of caring and love because they went home with a prize from you.

if we stopped spending money on all the customary gifts we could get our loved ones some really great things that we know they would want because we actually know who there are.
