John J. Lynon reflects on Christmas gift culture, confessing lifelong indifference to receiving gifts and viewing much Christmas giving as sham. He prefers simple thanks and avoids the ritual of gift exchanges, suggesting a personal philosophy against material ritual.
The writer laments Christmas gift duties and a habit of passive resistance to giving. He jokes about his wife handling reciprocity and outlines a plan for an anti John campaign, imagining a neutral symbol and protest group. He notes seasonal blues and a shared sympathy for Scrooge.
