[Abstract]

The gifts that were given out are not nearly as good as the gifts you guys received in the other thread.

The gifts that were given out are not nearly as good as the gifts you guys received in the other thread.

I guess people are more focused on what to get from others than what to give to others. I am fortunate not to go through unnecessary headache and hassle to find gifts for people and to receive gifts I have no use with. Gift exchanges with people/friends do not end up in "monetary equilibrium" most of the times. My previous company had the xmas gift exchange and I hated that program and I opted out the second year (I don't like shopping for someone else).
