i am talking specifically about the things i got and please dont link it with the giver. someone giving me a $200 and another one a $40 helmet leaves me the same emotional feeling of gratitude. but once that has been settled, the gifts sort themselves to their practical and personal choice.

i couldn't care less about negative posts. as i said, i am just more starightforward than the gift recyclers or that those who show a happy face but wonder what the heck are they going to do with the 12th fruit cake they got for Christmas.

Oh Merry Christmas again to all.
