SoberChef Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 I genuinely am not a fan, morally speaking, that I have this habit that was more or less instilled in me since my youth. Back then we always joked my mom got 2 Christmas' because half of what my dad would get her she would end up returning and exchanging for things she wanted. Since then, now well into adult life, I always end up snagging shit off my wishlists that I didn't get, and I genuinely cannot even say why I do it other than pithy excuse.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Nah, I do that year round. I’m super happy with what I got this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I do at certain locations because of Boxing Day deals. So a local Nike outlet store was 40% off the entire store, and got myself some shoes for $60. Another local used movie/music store also had the same discount on their stock, and got myself Up 3D for $16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I generally don’t like the focus of gift giving around special occasions, I’ve always given gifts to people in my life whenever I felt like it. Similarly, I don’t think of there being a particular time of year to buy things for myself. If I need or want something and it is in the budget, I get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLeon Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Working in retail for most of my 20’s really killed the fun of shopping around the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slug Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 I usually buy myself one thing. My in-laws often give cash for Christmas. So after Christmas I'll go use that cash to buy a thing for myself and call it my gift from them. That's really it though; I don't like, go shopping shopping.

Biggie Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 No. I save my gift cards for when I really want something during the year. But I did take down all my Christmas decorations. Bring on 2023! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer.tv Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 My wife has said she’ll take me shopping to get some gifts. I think I’m happily at the point though where I don’t really want anything for Christmas, or birthday’s for that matter - though my wife arranged a lovely break for us both as my birthday present. With having a young child and having young nieces, it’s more about their enjoyment and being part of it. Edit: on posting, I realise how much of an old man/cliche this post is.
