My loved ones know I love them. I could run around and spend all my money to show them that, or I can just tell them, as I did already this morning. As I do every time I see or talk to them. They'd rather I pay my rent and stuff like that. But of course some love it, that's why the holidays have never fallen by the wayside or out of fashion: there are plenty of people who like to spend money on others.
Handmade cards, homemade foodz, hand-written notes...those are the lovely things.
Then again MY FLOWERS AREN'T IN THE STREET!
