Hmm, the business part of the holidays for me begins and ends with Black Friday.
So I take it then that the holidays aren't about stuffing your face with good food and getting slightly (or greatly) inebriated with your loving family that you might not have seen for a while? That's what it's about for me. Now that I'm an adult with an income, the presents have become less and less meaningful except for those rare occasions where the present is unique and has sentimental value.
Even though I am as greedy as the next guy and rip into my wrapped goodies with as much fervor as anyone else, in all honesty I don't care if we exchange presents at all, or if we do, I wouldn't care if they were of extremely modest value. I keep telling my parents I don't want anything for Christmas at all, but damned if they listen to me...
Thankfully, being the poor graduate student I am, I don't have quite enough income for people to expect me to get them anything either...
