Christmas Gifts

Post by AbdiWahab252 »

How do you deal with them ? I am getting stack of this stuff from coworkers, vendors and clients. Latest is a bottle of Grey Goose. I don't refuse gifts so as not to offend anyone.

I ordinarily recycle the gifts by regifting them to other people who surprise me with gifts.

How do you handle the generosity ?

Grandpa,

The stuff from vendors I buy equipment from is even more lavish. I once was taken out for dinner from one vendor who dropped $2000 on dinner. I was eating stuff I could not pronounce or knew could be cooked so well.


Le Justcier ,


Bushmills ? You think me is a peasant like you :arrow:

Grey Goose is very strong. Don't do shots with that. Its almost obligatory to use it with a chaser.

Anyways just keep them. I can understand not keeping the vodka but no reason to refuse the others. Either way you are still expected to give gifts whether you accept other gifts or not

Tell them you don't celebrate Christmas like I used to tell them. I used to turn down every time they wanted me to come to Christmas party that wasn't really a crazy party but a get together dinner event.

Take the gifts if it ain't haram. I don't think that is dambi.
