Yes continue the time honored tradition of making the poor work for their gifts while the well off kids get handouts for free

I would have thought that would reduce the ability to see. Interesting.

Do I remember a single toy or gift I got as a child at family Christmas? Not one bit. What I do remember back then is spending all day getting to play Scrabble and UNO and other games with my aunts and uncles.

If you're hurting this year for money... don't have kids when you are irresponsible and can't afford them in the first place!

My new lever machine needs a dark roast as it's difficult to use, but I'm learning.

My mom used to do this for me on Easter to find my Easter basket and it's one of my greatest memories as a kid

Dark and extra dark roasting is the way to hide the intrinsic poor quality of a bad batch of coffee beans. Also, pour-over/filter coffee generally requires a lighter roast than espresso, but a lot of people like the acidity of lightly roasted beans in an espresso.
People who know about coffee drink light to medium roasted beans.

One of the only things my nephew fondly remembers with detail was the time I bought a small chest and put chocolate coins in and drew a map to it in the forest. Makes me wish I would have done more things like this and less to $50-$75 amusement parks🤣.

When I was a kid, my family would hide our birthday presents. I loved hunting for them even more than the presents themselves!
This year my Dad put my gift card in a puzzle box, and even as an adult I still had more fun with that than I will with the gift card haha

My parents did this! Favorite memory was searching for what turned out to be a new bike. Loved both the search and the bike.

When you're 80 and you leave your will, have it be a riddle. Make it a reality show, fund it, and give all the proceeds to your kids

We were so poor, it was "the underwear you're wearing for next year is your present".

Saw a LPT years back that stuck with me about getting the expensive version of a cheap item, e.g. a $20 pen is way nicer than a $20 shirt.
