Then give all those gift cards back to the people who send them to you and see how that makes them feel. And then afterwards, look deep down and see how you feel about that, all the while asking yourself if that was the "right" thing to do.
As far as what you said in the last sentence of the above post, I would completely agree. I would take that further, and say that the very concept of Christmas itself has been bastardized. Thus, the reason why I hate this holiday.
