Every year that I can remember, at Christmas, my uncle and his wife have given me the gift of the free crap you get when you buy x dollars worth of perfume or make-up. You know the free gold cheap make-up bag, or the t-shirt, or keychain, or the mini lotion set that comes with buying the good stuff. Every year, they also give my mom and dad some stuff that has clearly been re-gifted like candles, or vases they hate. I thought maybe given their living situation and type of jobs, they didn't have much money (he's a pastor, she works at a plant, they live in a trailer), and so you accept graciously... that is until the two years Christmas was at their house and we could see all the gifts they'd gotten for each other... whole tvs, and x-boxes and phones, and concert tickets, and their kids piles and PILES of toys so big that most of our own gifts that the family brought for everyone couldn't even fit under the tree. Considering we give gifts of money or things we know they would love and use, I really find them to be somewhat of greedy scrooges who only really care about themselves. I've even said, you don't have to get me gifts at all, my parents the same thing, absolutely at all, its just good to be in your company, and yet every year, its the same old useless crap thrown in a bag and given to us.
