I know it's stupid to get worked up over a Christmas present, but I feel like I can't help it. This is my love language and I don't think I can just change what makes me feel loved.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324070913172560772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112936661788622205.post-83815579068747276832009-01-08T12:15:00.000-05:002009-01-08T12:15:00.000-05:00I also agree.My birthday is coming and I don't rea...I also agree.<BR/><BR/>My birthday is coming and I don't really expect anyone other than my mother to remember and that's only because she was there at the time.<BR/><BR/>I think expecting things, scheduling gift giving and keeping track of who gets what are things that have become very American in the last ten or so years. STUFF! seems to matter so much to people. Far more than actual people or bonds of family or friendship. It's "keeping up with the Jones" but twisted into something that says if you love me, you'll get me something expensive that I can show off to people in order to prove that I have worth and that you really DO love me.<BR/><BR/>I don't get it and pity people who think that way because STUFF! should never be more important than people.<BR/><BR/>xoCookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544329180614399109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4112936661788622205.post-65865911713803240792009-01-08T11:10:00.000-05:002009-01-08T11:10:00.000-05:00I am non-gift-giver myself, so I am totally with y...I am non-gift-giver myself, so I am totally with you on this. I prefer to send a gift out of the blue, just because I happened to find something that was perfect for someone. I hate the idea of obligated gift-giving. I've even tried to talk my parents out of buying me gifts. But its been better now that I'm older, they just get me little stuff, and I know they do want to give me *something* so it's all good.<BR/><BR/>And like you said, I am all about the acknowledgment of the occassion or achievement or whatever, and if someone can spend time with me, that is the best gift of all.loqihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15222690741911643356noreply@blogger.com
