| Cookie jar
My sister asked for a cookie jar that costs 128 dollars for xmas.
Out of principle I don't want to spend that much money on a cookie jar. The dilemma I am having is she does a lot of nice things for me.
What should I do? |

| buy the jar and call it a day. But if it's ever not on the counter full of cookies when you visit then you have the right to raise hell | |

| Depends on your income honestly. If it is something in your budget do it, if not don't. Christmas should be about doing what you can for the ones around you with the means you have to do it. If 128 is more than you should spend on a cookie jar, I bet she will understand. | |
