Degifting：节日不送礼 这个真的有

大家经常在节日送礼物，以表感情，但有时过多的礼物似乎有些浪费，不是吗？Degifting这个词就应景而生了。

中英解释如下：

1. A mutual agreement to suspend holiday gifts for at least one season, usually within a single family or circle of friends.

在家庭范围或朋友圈内约定过节期间不用互赠礼物，简称过节“免礼”。

2. The act of replacing useless and pointless merchandise with something more meaningful, such as a charitable donation, service project or holiday party.

用更加有意义的行为取代过节时无用又无谓的商品互赠行为，比如捐赠善款、志愿服务或者办个节日聚会等。

例句：

Due to the recession, we've decided that Degifting is the best plan for Christmas this year. Instead, we're all getting together to serve food at the homeless shelter. I really don't need another Salad Shooter. Do you?

由于经济不景气，我们决定今年圣诞节最好就是互相都不送礼物了。到时候我们一起到流浪人员救助站为他们送些食物。我真的不需要Salad Shooter作为礼物了。
