Cash or Christmas gifts? Ghanaians share their festive preferences
As Christmas approaches, Ghanaians are divided over whether they would prefer receiving money or physical gifts during the festive season. While some say cash gives them the freedom to buy items according to their needs and preferences, others believe physical presents carry sentimental value and serve as lasting reminders of the people who give them. In street interviews, Joyce Brobbey said she would rather receive money because it gives her the flexibility to decide what she needs or wants. “I would rather receive the money because, you know, it actually gives me the freedom and then the flexibility to choose what I genuinely need or want,” she said.
