    Or they just know that Americans would rather go into significant debt, than having a lighter Christmas and/or buying less for a year or two.

      I’m glad I have friends who can live without needing presents every year to feel validated on keeping a friendship alive.

      I keep hearing other people just tear themselves apart because they worry about “ohhh I need to go shopping next week!” or “I can’t figure out what this person wants who barely gives a shit about me but I need to gift them SOMETHING!”

      Like damn people, is it worth it that much to gift someone things at the cost of your own sustainability?
