Nevertheless, I like buy gifts, but always I always try buy it well in advance, just to don't feel me stressed and buy it more cheaper, as always the big stores raises the prices, due they know that all the people feel obliged to buy. I feel that buy the gifts is like as an act of gratitude and love to the other people, since it means think about something that they can like it, what they need. This act have a lot of dedication, so buy gifts only for people who really appreciate (well... my budget is not too much, so that these not reach to everyone). I don't like buy gifts for obligation, that's when you get stressed more and more you absorves by consumption. I hate too the ads of the big retailers because they sell you an idea about the christmass, that is a moment to share, and things like that only for sell you their cards just to consume.
Because I have many childrens in my family, I really enjoy see their faces full of happiness while open their gifts, as they are counting the days waiting for christmas and the emotion they have for preparationes. But I think too that oneself teach to the boys to be consumerist and be watching of many gifts they will receive, that these are toys and dot not value the meaning of that, or what it cost to buy a gift.
