Bearing in mind most people are being hit by the increase in cost of living I am really surprised by the amount of threads around the following-
I want a present pile
They do not want to spend on my presents
I am being expected to spend more than I can afford
They are prioritising something else over buying presents
Christmas has become so transactional, with people just buying stuff. Fine if you can afford it but do not pressure other people. And also it is a shame about all the bulking up with plastic tat.
I am really surprised because I thought most people were moving to less but higher value/ sentiment.
Expecting a load of flack. End of the day do Christmas your way, but I am surprised bulk and high expenditure is still the goal
