As we get older, it's harder for parents and extended family members to select gifts for us, and many of my friends have said they've come to expect to receive cash for the holidays. Usually, cash is given with the intent that you'll spend it on something that you've chosen for yourself and that you love. It takes the pressure off of family members and they're able to essentially give you what you wanted.

Do you think you'll receive cash this year? If so, what will you do with it?
