In this society, people equate love with material objects. In our society, if you care about someone, you are to give them exorbitant gifts. Hand made gifts are often looked down upon, because most people don't value handmade arts. Mass-produced, expensive items are preferred. The Christmas holiday has become a celebration of excess and materialism.
We have become robots, who automatically spend excessive amounts of money in December. It would be good for our society if we could change our habits. Holidays should just be about good, local food, and not about gifts that were produced thousands of miles away.
Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for the gifts that I received, I am just pointing out a fundamental flaw in the mentality of our society.
