It’s no secret that too many of us tend to put presents before Christmas. It’s not that what we all care about is money; on the contrary, it’s one of the ways in our consumerist society to show love. Being conditioned about buying things for our loved ones by adverts on TV and media from as early as October, it’s no surprise that our minds are set for some pretty big expectations in what we want to get and to give for Christmas.
But this story posted on r/AskReddit is the opposite of that. It comes from a woman who told her husband she’d like a little Christmas gift. And before we all jump and say, this is not how you do it, the author added: “I did want a gift from my husband, mainly for the symbolism, like the thought of getting a Christmas gift.”
The woman also said that her husband “doesn’t have much money because he’s very reluctant to work and skips going to his part-time job most of the time, so I told him it could be something small, like a little stuffed animal or a keychain or even a Christmas card.”
As small as they may be, the author’s wishes didn’t sit well with her husband and she’s now asking for some advice from people online.
