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

    I don’t think it’s unreasonable to hope (even if naively so) for a cultural shift away from the “Black Friday” mentality that taints the holidays.

      Cool, but that’s not what you’re doing.

      You’re complaining people aren’t doing it, be in the change you want to see, but don’t go around telling people they’re doing it wrong.

        So, nobody should ever nudge others towards new behaviors or ideas? And how do you know who I do and don’t buy gifts for? Lot of assumptions here.

        Such defensiveness. OP is practicing as they preach, and nobody is “telling people” to do anything. We’re just discussing commonly held assumptions.
