I HATE holiday gift exchanges...I don't know why I still bother to participate in them every year. They are purely volunteer and never work out the way I hope.
I feel like I am always putting in more effort than my partner to try to get to know the person (real-life or not) and I am nearly always disappointed in what I receive (and often time don't receive anything at all from the online exchanges I have participated in.
Am I a Christmas Grinch? Yes, I probably am, but I'm over it...no more gift exchanges for me! Why buy $15-$25 worth of well though-out gifts (plus shipping at time) and not receive something I want or like in return. I might as well buy myself some Starbucks!
