I mean is that the real reason for Christmas? To give lavish, expensive gifts to love ones or friends even if you can afford buying them. What does it say about those people? That material stuff is more important than what real meaning of Christmas is?
I mean regardless if you are wealthy and can buy expensive stuff, do you think buying expensive stuff make up for the reason behind the holiday? I mean what it counts is that thought not how much you spend on a gift. You even can give a box of cookies to someone and still is thoughtful as the thought it what it counts not how much you pay for it.
But there are people who believe that in Christmas you have to buy expensive gifts and but buying pricey stuff it means you care for that dear and love one, even if it is your own parents.
For instance my sister bought our mom a sweater that cost a bit expensive but she works so maybe she can afford it. Then my sister asked me that between my brother and I should share the cost and buy between us mom another gift. The thing is that at this moment Im unemployed so I dotn ahve that much money, my brother does work but in an independent way so he does not ahve a weekly or monthly pay, as he works on his own and at this moment he still waiting for a client to pay him.
So my sister told me that we have to buy a gift for mom that is not that cheap becuase it is MOM not any other person who we are buying gifts. Liek I said at this momen my brother does nto ahve money until a client pays him and thath could be even after the 24th I mean my mom is a very simple lady, and she does not even ask for lavish or expensive gifts and I at this moment Im unemployed but I have some savings but is not a lot either. I mean of coruse if someone gives her an expensive stuff well she is appreciative sure, and thank for it, but she is not expecting people to buy her expensive stuff. But I know some people do like to
Christmas is a time to be humble and give thanks for the things you have whether they be pricey or not, and simple not to be this super
