Kids should enjoy Christmas. But fuck conspicuous consumerism and fuck corporate profits. Adults shouldn’t buy Christmas gifts for each other, IMO.

I’m sorry you can’t distinguish materialism as distinctly different from celebrating with family and friends. Enjoy being brainwashed by ads.
Yeah, you’re completely missing why adults like gift exchanges. Hint: it’s not because of ads and consumerism.
Yeah it is. Consumerism eats into all of us, hard. All those gazillions spent on marketing junk to us, do you think the executives would sign off on it if it had no effect?
I’m making gifts for family that I know they will love and appreciate. Gift giving is only as much about consumerism as you make it. To reject getting joy out of seeing someone else get something they would love is a bit short sighted.
That’s awesome, but let’s not ignore the billions in profits, and questionable spending, and plastic waste production that goes on every year because people feel cultural pressure to buy things for other adults. For every one thoughtful person like you, there’s a thousand buying junk nobody wants or needs.
This guy’s over here making hand crafted cash…wait, that’s illegal.
