It is our tradition to give gifts at the office during Christmas, it so happened that the total number of staff was more than 40. I was able to prepare 26 and i just distribute it right away putting their names at the label. So it is not enough and others did not recieve gifts. If you are one of those who did not recieve gifts, will you get annoyed, angry or what? I can see from the faces of those who did not recieved one, others do not want to talk to me anymore, LOL. Can you hide your feeling in this kind of case? Just asking.

Don't feel bad my friend. You are not forced to give gifts to everybody. Gifts and greetings are supposed come from the heart. If you don't feel like giving somebody a gift, why bother? What's important is you are at peace with yourself. Merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Hi, if i were someone that did not receive a gift from you.....well, i think i am as a human being can't hide a such feelings of upset that i don't receive a gift...but i must think a postive thing that maybe because of the gift quantity is 40 (well it isn't small quantity) which you have to arrange all of it starting thinking the kind of gift you would buy, then you decide which gift is properly to anyone..sure, it must be a little bit hard to buy and give a gift to all people in your big family.

Yes maybe you are right that we are just human that we cannot hide such feeling of consternation. If it will happenned to me that I was not given, maybe I can accept with a smile. Thanks for your response.
