I like holidays, frankly. They give so many options: either stay at home with family (and though I don't enjoy the holiday spirit any more, I certainly enjoy my family's presence), go out, go work for double pay, or maybe just pretend to be dead for a while, recupirating.
The whole presents thing unnerverves me a bit, though, since I kinda suck at picking them, and sometimes I feel complete misery when receiving generic presents (that is, ones showing the gifter did not actually think about me when picking them).

Because of the message character limit. It's insane, as if storing a kilobyte of text or two matters to them - it's not like they have a billion of users or anything.
