Be happy * it's Adar.

Adar is the Hebrew month that we're in now, and sundown Saturday is the beginning of the holiday of Purim, which is when we're supposed to get gifts, not during that puny little holiday in December. But we live in a Christian society.
Rabbi Susan Schnur has a fine series of articles in Lilith about the holiday and its misogyny and pagan origins. And more.
