"I'm not much of a fan of receiving gifts, but in a much-appreciated attempt to declutter, my holiday tradition has morphed into a single secret Santa amid all the siblings/siblings-in-law, and I actually got something worth mentioning: an ugly holiday sweater, but Braves-themed and with a ridiculously garish jersey number/nameplate on the back. Exactly the kind of horrendous thing that I'll always chuckle about when I remember/see it."
"Did you get anything inspired this year? I'm more of a fan of giving gifts than receiving, mostly because I feel like the reverse is true for the vast majority and most gifts are more checking a box of "yep I got a gift for so-and-so" rather than anything meaningful or insightful, but at least I have a ridiculously bonkers sweater now."
A holiday tradition shifted to a single secret Santa among siblings and siblings-in-law as an attempt to declutter. The recipient received an ugly holiday sweater that is Braves-themed with a garish jersey number and nameplate on the back. The sweater provokes amusement and will prompt chuckles upon future sight or memory. Receiving gifts is not a preferred experience for this person, who favors giving gifts. Many gifts are perceived as perfunctory gestures—checking a box rather than conveying meaning or insight. Despite that view, the received sweater is described as ridiculously bonkers and notable.
