Don't Stop Coal Now!

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real coal time
I feel alive
And the exchange I'll turn it inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in agony
So, (don't stop me now)
(Don't stop me)
'Cause I'm having a coal time, having a coal time~

No one says it's not within the rules of the exchange. Many things are within the rules that still lead to disappointment (not commenting, for instance). You filled your obligation, so you get a guaranteed gift of your own in return. That's the deal. Just because you stayed within the rules, you're not owed your recip's gratitude, their happiness, or even their willingness to keep the gift.
