God I wish this could be my family. The gift giving... is so needless. I'm a grown ass man and most things I do want I buy for myself, or are too expensive.

My mom basically asks us to give her a list of gift ideas. I guess that's the silver lining, because I get stuff I actually asked for. Still, there's no magic in it. And coming up with gift ideas is part of the challenge

Maybe if you stopped your entrench capitalist's attitude and focus on the act of giving, you would have a better time.
put o the wrong size shirt and dance with your aunt far a moment.
Or focus on the material. You do you.

I'm the same, everything I want I just get myself. There are a few people (mostly my mom) who can get me gifts I wouldn't think of but actually want and I appreciate that.
But for the past few years I've told everyone don't get me anything and if you really really want to anyway, donate to a charity from a list of ones that I like. Makes me feel good, makes them feel good, and satisfies the "I paid money for something for you" quota for the Christmas season.
