Walking home today I tried to focus on every vertical panel of the wood fence on the right hand side. It felt better than looking at the fence entirely.
This year should be for children (15 and under lets say).
For us adults, here's an idea.
How about you place $40.00 in an envelope for each person you had planned to purchase a gift for, and label each envelope with their name. Put it in a smart place. When the time comes, that $$$ will go away from you on behalf of the person who it was allotted to. For instance:
-If that person hits hard times within the year, buy them something they need.
-If they get sad, buy them something to cheer them up.
-Donate the $$$ to a charity or organization that they believe in.
-Purchase them the means growing their own food. It should only cost roughly $40.00 and about an hour of labour.
Here is the present under the tree:
Dear ,
Please understand that this year, my gift is completely intangible. If you have purchased something for me that I do not need, I plan on passing it on to someone who needs it more, On behalf of yourself. Thank you from all of us.
P.S. if you dont understand it, txt me.
love, .

holy shit, thats a great idea, i love that other people are on the same wavelength as I am
i, too, really appreciated this post. however, i was caught a little off guard by the "txt me" message at the end. was that a joke?
This made me almost cry...my family will not do without giving and receiving gifts and I find it hilarious that this is one of the easiest hardest things I've ever thought about doing...wow. Thank you.
