Tucumcari retiree Joe Rede says the worst gifts are ratty ties and polka dot neckwear, while his son gives cash and good ties. Clovis seed company worker Blake Curtis and Portales preschool director Dana Benavidez share practical gifts and warmth, noting gifts matter less than thought and family time.
