Very well put! Not only did I have to put up an artificial tree made out of petroleum product (oil) but I also am expected to buy petroleum products (plastic) for people that no one will use longer than a few weeks. I fought these expectations right till the end and I didn't end up buying a single present this year for anyone. I did give all my family steem for Xmas because it is actually worth something and, hopefully, will grow in value as time goes on.
