A lot of people feel like if they don't achieve some fucking Norman Rockwell image then they're cheating themselves. In reality, people cheat themselves by putting themselves under the pressure and making the whole event into too big of a deal. The gift-giving thing is fucked. I love watching kids open their presents- I remember how exciting that was for me- but as a whole the entire git shindig has turned into a fucking joke. People buy the shit because they're obligated, not because they want to. They go buy some piece of crap for everyone on their list and as a result, returning gifts is not even a social faux pas. You have Staple commercials with the dude burning his gifts in the fireplace. You have extra customer service line open after the holidays. You have every motherfucking store under the sun pushing their gift cards.
Hey fuck this fucking low brow bullshit and the constipated mule it rode in on.
