Why would you rather have a book you don't want than jewelry you don't want?
Mal: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em. Zoe: Shoot 'em? Mal: Politely.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Less guilt about exchanging, and also, I'll read just about anything. I will not wear that rhinestone holiday pin, but also feel bad about getting rid of it.
I just winterized my bed with flannel sheets and electric blanket, and I can't wait to get in!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
To me unsalted butter tastes like vaseline. I can't get the butter flavor at all unless its salted.

A book I'll read isn't one I truly didn't want. It's good enough. There are jewelry gifts equivalent to that. I'd rather store unwanted jewelry than an unwanted book. No one has ever given me the choice of exchange.
Salted butter tastes like salt. Unsalted butter is when I taste butter.

You can always exchange a book!

You can take a book to where it wasn't bought and get money back for it? That's not a sound business model.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I love baked/roasted sweet potato fries with cinnamon and brown sugar.
I'm sooooo glad my family had the adults stop exchanging gifts. My sisters and I just pool our money and buy an outfit and a toy for each kid under 18. I'm wracking my brains for my in-laws, though. They are HARD to buy for. We have the kids stuff planned but not purchased yet.

I like the marshmallows, provided you put them on top after the dish is done, and then either broil or torch 'em so they poof up and crisp. It's like sweet potato s'mores!

Y'all should come to Jamaica and eat sweet potato and our range of yams. Whole different world. We don't have either of what you call yam or sweet potato.
Mmm. I'm adding two more food envies to the list, along with multiple types of mangoes and bananas.
I am in Kat's camp when it comes to Xmas gifts. Oh well. Purchase I must, but I am not inspired to go hog wild this year.
As for butter, I like both salted and unsalted. I'm easy.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I like sweet potatoes many ways but an easy, not-too-sweet method is to put slices in a covered baking dish with orange juice.
