After looking at the infographic below, I just realized that the "real dynamics" behind holiday gifting is pretty damn depressing.

I give money instead of gifts
people appreciate that because then they can go buy whatever they want, saves me a lot of hassle and lets them go apeshit on getting themselves something.
Interesting, I hate people who buy me something I generally don't want instead of a giftcard. Actually most of the time I prefer nothing at all if I had to choose between random gift and nothing. Just wish me a happy holidays and call it a day, I am good with that. I have a house full of $10-$20 useless "gifts", I don't bloody need more.
That said, I don't get the animosity for fruitcake. Granted bad fruitcake is pretty terrible, but good fruitcake is freaking awesome.
You hate people who buy you things? Man, some people need to be choked.
You miss read that, he said he hates people who buy him things he doesn't want / need. and i agree to some point, i have gotten horrible games, movies, or cds that i have never opened as somebody didn't know what to get me so just picked up some random thing they see at a store from the $10 bin of games or $5 bin of movies. I would rather get nothing from them than get a pile of stuff that just sits there unopened or that i toss away. that is them wasting money buying me something that would never be used, and taking up space in my house. they could have just thrown the money into the garbage can and it would have been the same thing.
