It's is officially less than 24hrs to Christmas day and I am pretty sure if you are reading this you are like me that has no idea what to gift anyone for Christmas like our parents or siblings
or
are you one of those people that thinks or says it's just like every other day and gifts are not important, not like it's their birthday!! and wondering like me Why you should gift someone a gift for Christmas, it's not even their birthday?
Hahaha.....
I watch movies and I see how American parents are filled with anxiety and frustration all in the name of trying to get their children's presents wrapped and set under a Christmas tree before Christmas. This is literally Every scene in an American Christmas movie. it got me thinking why is gifting so important for Christmas?
I still haven't gotten a clear answer to that question, some say it's because the three wise men went with a gift to Jesus when he was born, but a lot of people who do not believe in the faith still send the gifts so I would say that wants an accurate answer.
The one answer I felt was quite close that I almost agree with is that we use Christmas day as an excuse for gifting those we love, it's our reminder to appreciate people in our lives and tell them how much they mean to us. letting them know how much they are being loved and appreciated.
I almost agree because I know of a friend who always gifts his crush every Christmas, it was just a way to let her know he cares, he couldn't on her birthday or valentines day because she had a boyfriend at the time and we all knew how protective he gets, so he quietly continued with his regular Christmas present letting her know he would always be there is she needed him. It felt like foolishness at the time, always looking forward to Christmas just to gift her.
well.. It paid off at last, 5 years after they are married with a baby on the way❤️❤️.
In my opinion, gifting on Christmas day is all about the motive, some do it to show they made a lot of money all year and can afford being expensive, or to prove they are bigger and richer than you are, some do it to impress a friend, boss or family, others just do it because of genuine love for family and friends.
my card gift from readthisplease.
I was never one to get anyone a Christmas present, I think I should do better ,I would do better even if it's a card like made for me and most of us on hive which I highly appreciate by the way. Thank you .
but what I am trying to say is that it's the thought that counts don't you think so?
It's still not too late, I should create some e-cards for my family and friends and send them first thing on Christmas morning like Santa would and putting in a few words showing each one of them how much I appreciate them and love them.
Like I said it's the thought that counts
Happy holidays everyone and merry Christmas to all who celebrate it.
