“Well I guess I’m the only one here who thinks it’s excessive.”
“The entire thing is excessive but it was an AD.”
“I hate that it’s for content and monetized. If it isn’t for that reason, I support it 100%”
“I don’t think it’s hurting anyone and see no problem with it. Growing up, we all had little trees in our room. It’s the holiday season, having extra things like this is fun and it’s something they’ll remember.”
“I’m ok with it, but I think it’s a little early to do a gift exchange.”
