I’ve heard some people write about their Grinch attitude toward those stores having the Christmas sales...like it’s just another way to tempt them to buy more of the things they don’t need and shouldn’t want.
The Christmas is stressful for some people. They feel that buying gifts is "obligatory/mandatory/required". A must. They feel forced to buy gifts.
Christmas is (or should be) about being together in love, and it should not be stressful at all for nobody.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
Have a nice day and have a nice weekend. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
Christmas is exactly that. While some people stress over gift buying, I believe most of that is from days gone by. Many people, myself included will buy what is needed, but, just to buy a gift? I just don't. People have too much frivolous stuff they don't really need and I will not be adding to it.
The gift of time. That is always fun. We enjoy getting together and there are gifts, I won't lie, but, not everyone brings them and many times it is for the elders or the kids. Always the kids. :)
While I am not a minimalist, I don't collect extras. Thanks so much for your words!
Greetings from Washington, DC!
