>- who is scraping together their life on one hand and buying $800 gifts?

You're lacking reading comprehension. Nobody is scraping together their life.

People are scraping together money for a Christmas gift. If you have $300 left over every month you still have have to scrape together 3 months worth of savings.

Also Christmas will be ruined regardless of how much money you spend on the gift if it never arrives.
