According to eBay, shoppers will be spending at least $1 billion on unwanted gifts this year. Does this mean that most of us have too much money? I mean, instead of buying something the other person doesn't want or need, shouldn't we donate that money to people who don't even have enough food?

No, it doesn't mean that!

It means that most people either have very poor taste or, that they can't be bothered enough to do a bit of research (among members of the family and friends) and find out what the person which they are buying the gift for, needs.

It means that Christmas is not a religious holiday any more, it got too commercial. Santa with his presents is more important than Jesus these days.
