I hate the pressure to buy gifts and cards at holidays such as these, especially when you are low, or in my case, no income. Luckily most people abandoned me so I haven't really got anyone to buy anything for although I expect I'll have to get my landlady a card. Still, it's like the ultimate symbol of capitalism IMO, buying pointless nonsense that will go in the bin just because it's a certain date and there's social pressure to do so. I really feel for low income parents who have kids who want expensive crap and will be bullied at school if they don't get it. The entire thing is insanity and makes people's lives miserable just for corporate greed.
