Christmas is only a few days away. Truthfully, the only thing on people’s minds is presents. I have never received a gift that I have really enjoyed. I guess I'm very hard to shop for. I find shopping for other people just as difficult. It is very hard to find the perfect present. When you have found what you think the perfect gift is, the person receiving the gift probably won't like it. Therefore gift giving should be banned. Like how the saying goes, it's the thought that counts. Action means nothing. We should think about what to get for other people but then buy gifts for ourselves. We can spend the same amount of money as buying gifts for others but we are buying for ourselves so we get the gifts we want. No more buying gifts for birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, and other gift giving events. One might think giving money would be a better choice. Then the recipient can get what he likes. Giving money is tacky. There is no thought in it. Remember it's the thought that counts. It is like giving a present with the price tag still on it. The recipient doesn't need to know we bought the gift for two dollars on sale at Food 4 Less. So for this holiday season do not buy me any gifts. I will not buy you any gifts. Just think about buying me something. It's the thought that counts, anyway.
