Consumerism and Celebrations

The discussion highlights a frustration with the excessive consumerism surrounding personal celebrations, emphasizing a shift away from traditional norms. The hosts express annoyance at the proliferation of pre-events, main events, and post-events that often come with the expectation of gifts and elaborate planning. They argue that having numerous celebrations dilutes the significance of each occasion and reflects an unhealthy attitude toward consumer culture. The sentiment suggests that a simpler approach to celebrating milestones could lead to a more meaningful experience without the pressures of materialism.
