I love the holidays and the whole atmosphere of generosity. Around town you hear about toys and food drives, coats for kids, donations for the salvation army, etc. Everyone is shopping for gifts to give to family and friends. It's wonderful to give as it is to receive.
Some people lose sight of what this season is about. They focus on a list of things they want rather than a list of what to give others. I don't want to hear what you want me to get you. You should be grateful I'm getting you anything at all. Wasn't Thanksgiving enough to remind us this year to be thankful for what we have and receive.
Growing up, my siblings and I didn't get much during Christmas and they were always practical things. We were not spoiled like most kids nowadays. As I grew up and finally had money to buy things for myself, I enjoyed giving presents. It made up for the lack there of during childhood.
Remember, 'tis the season to give.
