Pretty much what I did last year.. I was on an extremely tight budget last year.. I bought 5 people out of the 8 I shopped for last year.. 3, $1 Scratch Off Lotto tickets a candy cane and a card. I mean it's the thought that counts and that was all I could really afford and I didn't want one person get a better gift than the other so I got almost everyone that except my IMMEDIATE family.
Yeah it is the thought. People should not be made out to feel badly. I am not a big fan of commercialized Christmas. I enjoy buying gifts for people but I hate it being an obligation. I also don't like it when I get things for people and see them go to waste because they couldn't just tell me they didn't like it. Christmas was easier when you were a kid I spose. I would much rather focus on a nice meal together and having one day where no one was in a bad mood. But ehh, looks the like gifts are here to stay. lol
