Don't know about the rest of you, but I experienced a very encouraging trend this Purim:The decline of themed mishloach manot.
I witnessed a back-to-basics revolution as people handed me paper bags with some random candies and maybe a hamantash. My family received an all time low of three thematic packages today.
Does this mean that people are beginning to realize that they are not to be judged by the originality of their theme?
Perhaps it is a result of mothers reorganizing their priorities.
Or maybe I'm just mixing in the nebby circles.
In any case, the themes were not terribly missed and their absence did not at all detract from my Purim joy.
