Those are really cool! My attitude about the holiday, anyway. In fact, I feel that way about most holidays, ever since greeting card companies and others of the sort have seen fit to try to manipulate/propagandize you into believing that you have to buy all of these gifts for each and every single holiday. And it is made worse by the fact that retailers have holiday sales on pretty much every single holiday (you should have seen the sales around here for Martin Luther King Day; I'm sure he was doing cartwheels in his grave).

My mother and I rarely give each other gifts. We call each other and wish each other a happy holiday. We both just don't buy into the big business propaganda that is involved. It's the little things in between that make all the difference. Of course, that attitude has cost me more than one girlfriend, especially around VD.
