I was thinking about all those presents, and concluded that I don’t understand the concept
In our family we give Christmas presents only to the children, as we buying stuff for ourselves when we need/want something. Christmas gifts are tradition for kids, like something magical for them. Maybe it is an occasion for some people for an extra something they really want and it’s ok, but in Em’s world it’s just a pile or a few of cheap, useless tat she doesn’t really need or want, nor her or her family members.
Piles of tat and highly processed junk food, she got it all year long anyway.
