Expensive gift-giving on Christmas shouldn’t be allowed just in case someone becomes a grinch.
This grinch and I were good friends, but now they cut me off, so now I want my gifts back. I want the $35 BTS hoodie back. I want the $30 “Friends” pillow back. I want the $15 on pizza back. I want the $7.50 Christmas card back. They ruined Christmas.
There should be 1-dollar rule. No one should spend more than 1-dollar for someone on Christmas. I could’ve used that $87.50 on one pair Doc Martins, two novels, three cell phone cases, four months of Netflix and Hulu, or five golden rings. I could’ve just gotten the grinch a crusty bag of cookies from Family Dollar and called it a day, saving myself time and money.
I wasted so much brain energy. Thinking about what I should write for the Christmas card. I spent an hour just on the envelope. Carefully studying Korean on Google Translate, so I could write the grinch’s name correctly. The grinch liked K-pop.
I scrutinized the letters. I held the pen gently. Scared to make a mistake. Gingerly inking the intricate slanted lines and rectangles in a language I could speak gibberish at best. When she took it out of the bag, she commented with a silent “oh.” My gifts were never appreciated.
Christmas is a scam. Christmas sucks for broke people. If there’s no 1-dollar system, there at least be a refund system where people give back their gifts. Since grinches are all around the world, everyone would become their own Santa. Maybe then Christmas would become more jolly. At least it would be for me.
