Generous = used junk or $2 cash. I'm going to hell for speaking ill of my deceased grandma...she had good qualities, but gift giving was not her talent.

My paternal grandmother gave each of her grandchildren exactly $3 every year for Christmas. Well, since my parents were each the youngest child of several, and I'm so much younger than my brother, my grandmother must have gotten tired of that $3 expense. By the time I was about 15, I told her to keep her money, that she needed it more than I. She never once gave me an argument!
And yes, I wrote the darn thank you note before I spent the $3 every year.
