More Than Receiving Presents, The Real Spirit Of Christmas Is In Sharing
Remember the classic story by Charles Dickens, “A Christmas Carol”? The stingy Ebenezer Scrooge learned in a rather terrifying series of events the true spirit of Christmas which is giving. It is an occasion to remember the people who are special to you and give back the love and care they unselfishly bestowed on you the whole year. It matters neither the grandeur nor the price tag of what you give for it’s the thought that counts, that matters.
That may seem somewhat redundant and overused but that is the simple truth.
Weren’t you overjoyed to receive the handmade Christmas card your niece gave you last Christmas? Weren’t you delighted to be given the knitted scarf from your mother although she has been making you one ever since you can remember? You love receiving gifts from your loved ones and it gives you as much pleasure, even more, to give back something for all the things they are doing for you.
Here are some Christmas gift ideas you can consider:
1. If you have the time, the resources, and the imagination to make a scrapbook, then it will really be a very special Christmas gift. The recipient will be touched by all the effort and love that go with your gift. He or she may not exactly be into scrapbooking, but will not anyone just fall in love with a beautiful work of art and love?
2. You don’t have the time to make a scrapbook but you really would like to make a customized gift for a loved one then another suggestion is to decide on designing a t-shirt with your own personal touch. You just have to buy a plain shirt, a few bottles of fabric paint of different colors, a brush or two, and call on your store of creative juices. This is a fun activity for your kids and other young people in the house.
3. A special talent for cooking and baking can also come in handy this season of giving. Baking several batches of your specialty pastries and wrapping them attractively will not only satisfy the hunger for food but also one’s longing for love and kinship. Sounds rather melodramatic, isn’t it? Today, however, we live our lives in such a detached way that we sometimes lose our connection with others.
4. Wouldn’t you love to receive a book about something that interests you? If you have a brother who have thing for Gothic architecture then giving him a book about that subject is indeed a big favor. Or you may have a friend who has a huge interest on saltwater aquariums, scouring the local bookstore or the internet for a book on how to maintain a saltwater aquarium would prove to be the perfect gift.
5. Can you go wrong with a handmade Christmas card? A nice card coming from a loved one or a friend never goes wrong. It may be the simplest gift you can give but it still possesses the same inspiration and appreciation when compared to the more glamorous and brightly wrapped boxes under the Christmas tree.
You may not be giving a gift with a fat price tag. There may even be others who think
you’re Ebenezer Scrooge reincarnated because you never seem to spend much money on the Christmas presents you give. Yes, you don’t spend a lot of money on your gifts because you know there are better ways to make your gifts memorable and special without spending much and because you know that Christmas is much more than receiving gifts or even giving them.
It is the time to appreciate your loved ones, your friends, and your colleagues with or without giving them gifts.
