 Tired if Gifting. Her Birthday, Anniversary, Valentine's Day and now freaking Christmas Gift: I am getting tired of getting my wife gifts. Not only do I hate shopping, I've run out of ideas after so many years. How do you married folks deal with it. Matter of fact, I have extended family (thanks to DV) that I need to buy gifts for this borrowed tradition of exchanging gifts during Christmas. The newbies are more excited for Christmas than Dasain or Tihar. It truly sucks man.

Gift giving isn't even a normal tradition among Nepali Christians (have a few Christian friends). Not sure why Nepalese feel like the need to blatantly copy traditions that we're not accustomed to. Not that there's anything wrong with it, still, when you see people getting excited about Christmas (especially back home) without even caring about the true meaning of Christmas, you gotta wonder if us being labeled copy cats is valid.

दसैँ तिहार पर्खेर बस्ने उपहार लिन दिन हाम्रो बानि , कोहि   बिदेस गए भने केहि पाउने  आसमा बस्ने हाम्रो चलन ? जन्मोत्सवको दिन गुरु वा मन्दिर गएर दक्षिणा चडाएर आसिर्बाद मागे पुग्ने २-३ दर्जन उमेर बिताएर बिदेसिना साथ का बाट आउछ उपहार आदान प्रदान गर्ने बानि ?  It is against our Nature and you feel tired giving away every damn reason !! Do you know , just to make a good mood for the night , you have to bring something. You do not like it either? Last edited: 24-Dec-12 07:50 AM
