A number of people who are planning on celebrating Christmas have begun the process of evaluating and selecting the shit and unused presents received last year and recycle them to unsuspecting friends and relatives.
One Sri Lankan Aunty who spoke to us said ‘I forgot to make a note of the person who gave me this cutlery set. Just look at the colours – it’s like someone vomited on the plate. Can’t bring this out for guests. I want to give it away but am trying to remember who gave it as I obviously don’t want to give it back to them. Should have asked for the receipt also.’
Another Aunty said, “My brother bought my daughter some books, however, she already had two copies of them. But the idiot wrote a Christmas message inside the book in pen and now we can’t really give it away. What a selfish uncle he has turned out to be. I should have never have made him my daughter’s godfather.”
Meanwhile, many people are celebrating the season of giving, by handing out stares of extreme disappointment as they open their gifts. In a related story, the Chief ‘Taking Advantage Of Christmas’ at Disney said they were releasing the new Star Wars movie in December so that people could watch the movie during the holidays as opposed to making their merchandise the number one toys that kids ask their parents for. ‘It’s definitely not because of that’ he added.
