I handed out Christmas money to people in my life this week. Tips as they were. Artie Lange once observed that gift certificates are money that could be spent anywhere and converted into money that could only be used in one place. I used to give out gift cards and now I just give out money. Crisp $50 bills for the trainers I work with at my gym, the guy at my local diner who always knows my order, and my assistants. The amount seems insufficient and also indelicate, more transactional than I tend to like, but that seems to be the social protocol, so there it is.

As my grandmother would say, money is always the right color and size.
