I didn't realize Christmas is about toys or getting junk

Greg Ahearn, President and CEO of The Toy Association, told CNN: "A 145-percent tariff is tough on any industry, but ours is truly unique from the standpoint that 96 percent of the manufacturers here in the U.S. are considered small- or medium-sized businesses. So when you think about these businesses, and a 145-percent tariff being put on them, it's untenable for them."

"No toys are currently being produced in China. And there are reports that major retailers here in the U.S. are starting to actually cancel orders," He added. "Christmas is at risk."

How exactly is Christmas at risk??? Christmas isn't about getting crap, but that's what we've turned it into, sadly. "I better get something this year" people gripe. It's sad honestly. I need nothing to have an awesome Christmas and everyone in this world should realize Christmas is not about getting physical things.

Christmas is me paying a couple of hundred on Christmas dinner. Doing all the cooking. The family come over and eat it, complaining about anything that pops into their little brains before pissing off and leaving me to clean up afterwards.

We do presents to, but mostly just for the kids. (My brothers spent too much on my niece's kids, only for one of the tykes to be more interested in the rubber duck in my bathroom.) 🤷🏽‍♂

@Thevy29 One thing that you can take from all the complaints...NO ONE who isn't completely sure of your continuing love would dare to complain so much! THAT's family!!!
