Idk, personally I haven't felt "the spirit of christmas" or anything that actually made it uniquely special. Anyone else feel the same?

I kinda think that I still have to grasp that christmas is about
friends we made along the waysocializing, not gifts and presents. I'm a person that's not really that into buying anything for myself and others and that's what I focused on the most beforestart making it about figuring out a really cool gift for someone, rather than forcing yourself to change your way of thinking completely. Finding a $12 gift in a bin at a thrift store that makes someone go 'What the hell, where did you even find this? I love it' is so satisfying. Even something plastic fro, the chain drugstore can have this effect with the right context. That friend who cried about a blackhead back in grade 9? Get them a blackhead popping tool and write "To 15 year old friend, if only we knew about these back then"
Getting gifts starts to suck when you see it this way though. At least I feel the need to reciprocate gift giving and so will either be disappointed in my thoughtless gift or stressed that I dont know enough about them.
I haven't really thought about it this way. thanks for the advice
Always nice when the advice nobody asked for is appreciated lol. I have a tendency to be annoying with it.
