Regifting at Christmas has become more and more common.
Sometimes a gift is now even opened before the recipient regifts it to someone else.
Let's take a look at this practice and see if there is anything really wrong with it.
Here are 5 reasons to send that gift on its way if you don't want it.

• Regifting can be a practical way to make sure everyone receives a gift that they will enjoy.
  There is no reason to keep a gift that you don't like and will never use.
  
• Regifting is much easier than returning an unwanted gift.
  The lines in the stores are long after Christmas and it is silly to waste your valuable time.
  
• It is wrong to keep a gift that you dislike.
  It is much better to hand that item over to someone who will want it and appreciate it.
  
• Regifters tend to be more generous than people who just keep a gift and pretend they like it.
  Generosity means making sure everyone is happy and has something that they are excited to receive.
  
• Passing along an unwanted gift, especially at Christmas, is almost expected these days.
  People use gift bags instead of wrapping paper many times just to make it easier for someone to regift their gift to someone else.
  

These are the five most important reasons to pass along a gift to someone else.
No one in their right mind would blame you for regifting a lemon as quickly as you would pass a hot potato.
So this year, and every year, when you receive a present that is ugly, tasteless, or just plain horrible, quickly send it on its way to someone else.
You will be much happier if you do.
