Re: Holiday Pet Peeves

Definitely people who make a fuss over not saying "Merry Christmas" and saying "Happy Holidays" instead. Ditto the people who claim that the "War on Christmas" is a real thing. Anyone who doubts this actually happens should consider themselves very lucky, because it pops up on my Facebook feed every damn year.

People whose wishlists don't have anything under $20. Nothing says "greedy" like a 3 page Amazon wishlist of stuff $50+. I have adult relatives who do this, so they don't have the excuse of being a clueless teenager.

What is the "War on Christmas"?
And we use amazon wishlists as well! But we always put cheaper stuff. :P

I don't think it's necessarily greedy to have pricey things on one's amazon wishlist; after all, you might not be only one buying for them there. My parents very well might get me a custom leather purse from etsy (~$65); my friends who do a Secret Santa with an extremely firm cap at $30 won't.

It's that there should be a balance of price ranges- I also list $20 fandom t-shirts, $15 card games, and paperbacks that are available used for $1 or under.

The other thing to keep in mind is that some people use their list for pie-in-the-sky dreams (I know someone with a $26k camera lens on theirs...), or to keep as a bookmark on certain products. I do that, but at least I keep it in a separate list (hello, $200 hand-batik-printed duvet cover!) that I don't anticipate anyone ordering from at the holidays.
