For many years, we've given a gift card to our resident building manager for Christmas. It is a very practical option. Even during the last couple of years when we were out of town, we gave one to him in a Christmas card early. As we are here this year, we thought we should also give a little something to the cleaner and the maintenance assistant guy for our strata buildings. Has Lyndt chocolate always been a
Christmas thing? Jay found some wrapping paper that we have had for a decade, at least.
We seldom give each other special presents as we absolutely ensure we always have what we want. Why wait to give something on a special day? The whole gift-giving phenomenon seems more than a little silly to me.
Yeah, I know. You're going to think I am some sort of bah-humbug Scrooge, and all. You are certainly entitled to your own opinion, although I've discovered through extensive experience that you are very likely wrong.
