Today, I had a very long, complicated talk with my girlfriend. Apparently, since she isn't religious, she doesn't have to give anyone Christmas presents, and yet expects everyone to give her some. She then told me what I should get her. FML

I'm not religious and I still give gifts!

...Hold up. Your very long and complicated talk with your girlfriend was about *Christmas presents*?

Get her an ironically titled film, such as Despicable Me or Idiocracy...on VHS.

Wow what a chancer she is! have words with her or dump her. If she's this selfish, demanding and materialistic now, imagine what she'd be like if you were married.

The question is whether you were dumb enough to put up with it.

tell her she should have it so she gives and receives just just doesnt get anything

I don't care much for religion, but the tradition of gift giving started with the 3 wise men bringing crap for jesus. despite what Christmas is today, a long time ago it wasn't the celebration of Macy's and Santa

They gave gifts because a child was being born, a child they believed was special. There's no reason why people should give gifts during Christmas nowadays. Unless they're giving them to Jesus.

Not quite. Christmas gift exchanges have Pagan origins, as do 90% of Christmas traditions. The practice was actually banned by the Church for a while for this reason, then later brought back into the holiday by rationalizing that it was because of the wise men and St. Nicholas.
