Please Stop Bringing Me Gifts

I was running out of potholders; and I had bought them for me. But people kept bringing me stuff, and I wanted to reciprocate. Some of the candy was stale, but I still had to act appreciative. Right? After I gave my new potholders away, I had three more people arrive Bearing gifts! What? Why? It is such a burden, and yet I had to act delighted. It’s the Christmas Christian way, right? So I gave one of them my new necklace, the one I bought from one of those you-have-to-buy-something party, so the hostess can get a free necklace. The last one was not as lucky. I wrapped up a four pack of toilet paper. But I did wrap it in a fresh newspaper, and there was a shortage in the stores, in my defense. I hope people stop bringing me gifts.
