My parents learned just to give me money. I guess I have just bastardized Christmas, but they have no clue what I would like, and since I am actually working in a real job for the first time in my life, I normally don't need to wait for Christmas for what I really want. They understand that too. A gift given to you is yours. Do with it as you please. Would these people have done the same thing if they had gotten you something you really didn't like and you exchanged it for something else?
