I agree its wrong for him to make nasty comments....

but I do have a question.... How was the gift giving presented? At our office a mass email was sent out saying they'd collect for a charity instead of doing the kris kringle. Lots of people started "reply all" saying they were in for it. However our unit last year didn't do kris kringle because money is tight. With everyone replying to all it kinda puts the pressure on our group to spend money or look like cheapo's if we don't reply.

please don't flame me. I have my favorite charities I donate to durring the year. and donate clothes. Then last month I donated to a family who's house burned down. I also crochet for charity. That ontop of some major unexpected house repairs kind of makes it difficult to say yes to additional requests.
