For me, there were several dollar store trinkets that already broke, and one toy for my kids that was a huge sparkly styrofoam mess waiting to happen, so I threw it out rather than curse anyone else with it.

    I’m actually just about to celebrate Christmas in the next hour or so. My dad’s health went downhill over the holidays and he needed to be moved to assisted living, so we had to delay Christmas for a bit.

    I asked my family to get me gift cards because I don’t like receiving a bunch of trinkets/cheap toys. And the non-cheap “toys” I want are too expensive for my family to afford. So I’d rather they contribute cash toward something I really want.

      Sounds like a good plan! I hope the event is a fun time, despite the hardships
