some folks ...even tho at times i dont think this is very personal...while at other times i do understand it ...will give money so the individual can then when they need something can have the money to buy what they need to fill that need.

and some dont celebrate becuz its not their particular religious holiday to recognize but have other days that are special and yes then some other customs come into play...

and each family does like to add a small custom to the established ones.

however, this was about those that delegate gifts to be bought to ensure that the list is completed and i dont think that should be done...as life doesnt fulfill all needs always.
