    No, this isn’t a Carry On suggestion, or a reference to matters conjugal.

    I’ve never been very good at receiving presents, and tend to feel embarrassed and guilty, which makes my birthday and Christmas awkward. On the other hand, I like to give presents and enjoy others being made happy.

    Anyone else have a Catholic guilt about the apparently simple pleasure of receiving a gift?

    I have to agree with you. Being on the receiving end is often disappointment. On the giving end, only disappointment if the recipient is a bad actor.

    I’m trying to figure out whether this has gone south yet.

    But I know what you mean.
