I 100% agree with this. Unfortunately it’s also one of those things that a lot of people say but don’t really mean. Like when they say it’s OK for men to cry.
Personally I like giving other people gifts. It’s part of the fun. Last year I got my brother a drone and he got me a thrifted, pit-stained t-shirt for a band I don’t listen to that much. I don’t care, I just like to give other people cool gifts!
Celebrate without buying gifts.
Why do you need to spend money to celebrate? Spend your time with people instead.

Oh this man cries, often. And this man thinks it’s completely natural, acceptable, and often enjoyable.
It’s definitely OK for men to cry. Or, it’s equally not okay for a woman to cry than a man. Lol
I totally cry.
I also tend to give gifts when I see something a friend would swoon over, and giving gifts for Christmas is weird.
I also don’t really care about my masculinity or if I’m seen as sufficiently manly.
Everyone close to me knows I ain’t a holiday gift giver. I like giving surprises to people on the fly when they don’t expect it.
