Last year I experienced my first holiday gift exchange party. And I learned something valuable: Niceness doesn’t win. Niceness won’t get you the wine cooler. It doesn’t get you the 6-pack of tomatillo hot sauce or the 5 tropical flavored margarita mix. But what it will give you is the bird feeder that nobody wants.
