I'm A Bit Of A Grinch. Holiday Gift Exchanges Can Be Stressy For Me For Several Reasons—the Guessing
I'm a bit of a Grinch. Holiday gift exchanges can be stressy for me for several reasons—the guessing game of figuring out who's planning to gift-exchange with me so it doesn't turn out awkwardly one-sided; being a minimalist who's overwhelmed by receiving too many new possessions; the possibility of inflicting the same overwhelmedness on other people; and the fact that I and many of my friends are tight on money.
This year I've started an opt-in gifting policy: I've admitted all those things to my friends, and told them that if gift-exchanging with me is important to them, they should actively let me know and provide me with a wishlist.
I'm pleasantly surprised how well people have taken it, and how many people have taken my blessing to not gift-exchange with me! I've got my gifting this year down to a few relatives and one close friend and I didn't have to do any guessing about what to buy and for whom!

Very much inspired by that Valentine Pin-Up Alastor merch where the only significant change is him having his bow-tie unclipped.
Anyway, happy valentine day sike, it's Aro week and we are begrudgingly going on dates to help our friends with their heist.
