We have lemonade every Christmas.

But if you give adults different things from what you give children, both sides will probably turn out incredibly boring because that is what usually happens. Next you will give all boys matchbox cars and all girls tiaras, and women... flowers and men ties. [Not that those things are bad {though let's be real ties are only fun when you dress up, they seem to indicate utmost boredom at all other times, and so does giving someone flowers, you only do that when it gets really stuffy}, but if everyone gets the same in groups like that, what you get is mindless mass processing and boredom, in her experience, because the putting thought in tends to stop with "let's split things up", or something. She's not sure, but if you don't have categories people usually have more creative ideas and it's more fun, and more people get things they like.]
