This is something that has me feeling disappointed when it comes to getting presents/gifts/treats in this game. Normally, i'd label this topic with a "Oh heck no!" title and rant my bottom off but i want to see opinions from both sides and whether or not this feels like something the community is okay with. Here's my quick two cents:
I'm really against the whole idea of Giving Gralats away as Gifts or Treats because it really doesn't feel like a special item/gift to give away considering that Gralats are usually obtained/purchased by these players on a daily basis. Worst of all, they come in really small amounts.
In Trick or Treat, i remember giving away 5 candies to an Elder only to get back like around 30-50 gralats. This Christmas, my only super gift was 151 gralats (The least amount of gralats i received in a gift). The only presents i got for this Christmas (as a total of 6 gifts) was around 1800 gralats, Eggnog, and 3 pieces of Candy. It was kind of disappointing knowing that while everyone got cool gifts and such: I was given such a small amount of currency.
(Yes, It is a small amount when considering how 2500 gralats costs 1 dollar)
And speaking of cool gifts, it becomes a tease and a barricade beyond such amazing gifts/treats for players to obtain. Isn't it kind of disappointing knowing that you spent struggling around to catch ghosts or having your friends go through the effort of using their money to give you a present only to get back what seems like a really unfair portion of gralats?
In my opinion/suggestion, i'd recommend removing the gifting gralat option in future holiday events because this game's currency is being mixed in with such exclusive gifts that these talented GFX artists have worked on (especially for these events) and that they probably may not come back at all ever again.

What do you guys think? Do you feel it's okay or do you feel it's unfair for staff to be bundling gralats and mixing them with treats/presents in such holiday events? I will not go against anyone's opinion as i'm opening this topic up for discussion. I also decided to add a poll. Hope everyone has enjoyed their christmas!
