Gift-giving Season
The true value of Christmas presents, and of any gift, lies not in how much money was spent but in the care and attention that was put into their creation. So, “it’s the thought that counts,” as the saying goes. The problem arises when it becomes clear that neither money nor thought was put into the present. This person experienced this exact thing when they received a Christmas card from a coworker that completely baffled them.
What’s worse is that everyone in the office knows this particular coworker is extremely wealthy, yet they still bought them the cheapest card available. Actually, that’s pretty strange. Why bother giving anything at all when they could have spent more money on a nicer card and clearly didn’t put much effort or thought into choosing this card?
