it's better to give

With christmas near I wanted to talk about giving and receiving gifts during the holidays.I am notoriously hard to shop for,I never know what I want and when I do it's considered too practical.I also loath the idea of buying gifts,like most people I always want to think of something unique and special to give the person.Thinking of something special and unique year after year isn't at all easy.It puts alot of stress on people,myself very much included.When I was younger my mom would buy a bunch of cards and had me give them out to everyone of my friends and family,I would write a special note for each of them.I'm realizing at only 18 that life as a kid when it comes to giving gifts this season is so much easier,actually life in general is easier.I do love the look on peoples face when they like a gift,I bought buy my brother an early gift and he was truly happy,it was great and satisfying to see.In my case giving gifts is better than getting because I am also known for having a terrible "happy/suprised/enthused" face about anything but that's just because I am weird or something.I love the holidays because of the idea of family and tradition that it promotes and giving gifts is apart of that tradition.So instead of being worried about it I'm going to enjoy christmas and the time I get with my family.
