“This year you won’t get a Christmas present from me” – news Oslo og Viken – Local news, TV and radio

Have your say at the bottom of the matter How many Christmas presents should I buy this year? Should I drop someone? And not least, who? The neighbor? The friends’ children? Your cousin at 32? Colleagues? The bitch? – You actually have more good reasons not to give gifts than you have for giving gifts. The environment for example. Then there is this money gallop. Someone has to step into the breach. Someone has to put the brakes on, notes Kristine Storli Henningsen, also known as the blogger “Antisupermamma”. Author and “anti-supermom” Kristine Storli Henningsen. The difficult conversation One thing is to cut out the gifts. The second is how to actually say that “um, you … maybe we shouldn’t, I mean, hehe, … it’s probably … not necessary and uh … so good to buy each other gifts this year?” – I think many people find it difficult. For example, when the children have reached confirmation age or are over 18, should you continue to give gifts? asks Henningsen. She believes the most important thing you can do is simply “address it”. – It’s not so scary to say: “Should I continue to buy a present for you and you for so-and-so?” Most people experience it as a relief. She believes it is easier to speak up this year, easier to gain understanding, and easier to cut out. Precisely with the price increase as a backdrop. – Yes, it is easy to feel guilty, “my children may get less than other children”. OK, but then you have to give them other values, so maybe they will remember it with gratitude when they get older, says the anti-supermum. We want to hear how you solved it. Who do you buy Christmas presents for, and how did you agree with friends, family – and the dog – about who gives to whom? Hi! Welcome to dialogue at news.
