Nice read. Recognizable.<p>I hate presents, I hate getting them (they're never what I want, or if they are, I was well aware they bought it at a poor price). I hate buying them even more because I just don't know what people like. If you know, buy it yourself, jeez.<p>This year I just stopped buying them, said to everyone: I don't want them. The gift I want from you is to not have to give you a gift, ok?<p>People don't like it, but I feel better. Man do I hate that tradition of gifts (for birthdays, for christmas, for Sinterklaas... always stress about stupid gifts... pffff, hate that process)
