   Wife told her dad that Christmas is not about presents and he's not taking it well
   "It actually is about presents because Jesus gave us the gift of eternal life and thats what the gifts represent"

     @Zerglingman I think he's rationalizing. The gift exchange descends from the 3 wise men i believe.

     @monsterislandcolonizer Oh definitely. You can have Christmas without presents, and indeed, in the absence of children, I even recommend it; go hang out with your Church, have a barbecue or something, get excited at how awesome Christ's gift is.
     But also, give each other gifts. Just in general. It's relationship.

     @monsterislandcolonizer @Zerglingman ITS FROM A BUNCH OF THINGS
     AMERICAN CHRISTMAS IS A SMORGASBORD OF EUROPEAN TRADITIONS
     THE STOCKING STUFFERS AND THE PRESENTS UNDER THE TREE ARE BOTH REFERENCES TO SAINT NICK
     
     HE WAS BISHOP OF THE CITY OF MYRA AND ONE OF HIS PARISHIONERS WAS POOR, HAD NO MONEY TO PAY HIS DAYGHTERS DOWRIES AND WAS TOO PROUD TO ACCEPT HELP
     SO SAINT NICK WITH THE HELP OF A FEW CO-CONSPIRATORS CLIMBED THE ROOF OF HIS HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND DROPPED A BUNCH OF COINS TIED UP IN A CLOTH DOWN THE CHIMNEY

     @Zerglingman She said "the presents isn't the point" and her dad said "well I guess we'll cancel Thanksgiving too!"

     @Zerglingman The woman is like 85 and she wants the entire family and extended family at her house for Christmas and she wants everyone to buy a gift for everyone else.
     It ends up being like $30 per person for like 18 people
     Tf am I gonna buy for a dude who spends like $1200 a month leasing a Corvette?
