I love my brother's attitude toward gift giving. If he found something he wanted to give you, he gave you a gift. If he didn't find anything he wanted to give you, you didn't get a gift. He didn't care what people thought.
People lose sight of the reason for the season.
I give gifts to my two kids. Those are the only two people who need gifts and they are still young. My husband and I exchange gifts when we feel like it… if we have the money and there are things we want. The gift should be something the person wants or needs and well thought out. Not everyone likes homemade gifts and shouldn't be forced to love or use something because it was homemade.
