Christmas.

A time of festive cheer...

But, Itoshiki-sensei... It's the thought that counts, isn't it?

[im_in_despair]

An admirable sentiment, but in reality, it is far from the truth!

Well, I'm sure people appreciate the fact you remember about them more than what you give them.

The typical human subconscious is both far more complex and far more self-centered than the simple politeness that one puts forth in such a situation!

Um, well... Even so, friends and family are more important than gifts...

[im_in_despair]

One thing being more important than another doesn't stop the first from being important at all.

That's true... But still, gift-giving isn't what Christmas is all about, is it?
