Presents
by Jo
At Christmas we all dash around trying to find the perfect
Christmas present for everyone but sometimes the best presents are the simplest
of things.
I remember a few years ago, my mum got Take That tickets (when
they very first reformed) for my sister in law and my brother hid a note in a
box (as we didn't have the tickets). She
opened the box expected it to be something completely different but when she
saw that it was the tickets she wanted her face was a picture. So it isn't about going out buying the most
expensive gift it's about giving some thought to what someone would really
like.
Personally I hate shopping for presents and then having to spend
hours wrapping, but I do always try to personalise them in some way and get
what I know my family and friends would like.
What I look forward to at Christmas is watching my nephew open
his presents. His face when he opens
each one is priceless. He just wants to
play with every single one. We all spoil
him but that's what you should do with children.
Since he's come along it's reminded me that Christmas is about
children and it makes me feel sad that some children and adults won't receive a
gift this year. So when I shop for my
family's presents I will be adding extra in to put in the box at work for those
who are in hospital this Christmas.
I hope everyone will add a present in their shopping for the
ones that either can't afford it or the ones in hospital that may only receive
that one gift this year.
