Right? As much as big retail corps have ruined the season, the reason I love it is the personal connections, time with family, and cozy vibes of the decorations. Gifts are part of that but the whole point of gifting is that moment of "Hey I was thinking about you and know you liked this thing" and them being happy someone knew them well enough to pick out a great gift.

The idea of some AI messaging my friends to anonymously ask them what they want for christmas is gross. This is effectively a more complicated Amazon Wishlist for each person.
