Will Scrooge Kathy Posner Give Reba McTire Christmas Gift?I have a somewhat locally famous huge walk-in closet in my bedroom that is called, “The Present Closet.” It contains gifts running the gamut from a flat screen TV, espresso makers, a $300 bottle of champagne, jewelry and George Foreman grills to Jerry Springer t-shirts. So it will shock most people to learn that I hate giving presents during the holiday season.
Even though I have a somewhat locally famous huge walk-in closet in my bedroom that is called, “The Present Closet,” and it contains gifts running the gamut from a flat screen TV, espresso makers, a $300 bottle of champagne, jewelry and George Foreman grills to Jerry Springer t-shirts, it will shock most people to learn that I hate giving presents during the holiday season.
As I mathematically proved in a recent blog, holiday shopping has virtually no impact on the nation’s economy and it just a sham to trick people into shopping. Other “holidays” are just as bad. Mother’s Day was basically invented by the greeting card industry to boost sales and I find it offensive that people think they have to have a reason to honor their Mother. The same thing stands for Sweetheart’s Day, Secretary’s Day and all of those other bogus kind of manufactured holidays.
I am not saying that Chanukah and Christmas are fake celebrations, but they have turned into money grubbing, present opening bonanzas for greedy people.
It is not because I am selfish that I don’t like giving presents during the holiday season, I just hate that people EXPECT presents and cash bonuses. I should be allowed to give a gift when I want to, not because it is a particular time of the year.
My theory for bestowing presents is that I want to give them when I WANT to, not because I HAVE to when the calendar page turns to December. Why do grown-up people think that just because it is the holiday season they are entitled to a gift? Children, I understand, but adults? Why?
So this is fair warning to everyone that they will not receive a holiday gift from me if they are more than 18 years old. But this caveat does not include my sister because with her, we are still just kids.

James Edstroms Note: I'll expect my George Forman Grill with my Jerry Springer shirt in the mail. Why have a present closet if you don't give them out? You have my address!
