The title of this post is the title of a newspaper article that I read, and I must say that parts of the article made me very sad. Why you may ask? Well the gist of the article is that people sometimes give bad gifts at Christmas. I’m thinking, okay, yeah it happens, some gifts are pretty bad and should have been thought out a bit more. But the article went on to talk about some specific circumstances where women broke up with guys in part because of some bad gift decisions. Maybe, they weren’t bad, but more un-tasteful. Has our culture become so selfish that if a gift isn’t good enough that we’ll breakup or divorce the person that gave us that “bad” gift? If that is the case it is very very sad.
I understand that some people’s love language is receiving and giving gifts, but as it often seems is the case people (read guys) can have a hard time picking something out for their lady (not that women are always better at it). It is a spot that guys can work on, but it is really the thought that counts and if the gift is that bad talk to him/her about it and try to view it from their perspective, or just be happy that you are special enough to someone for them to get/make you a gift…
