We all made Christmas list when we were younger and we still like to get things that we want this day and age. However, I think several people still miss the meaning behind the gift giving. This is a celebration of love and happiness. We get to show our loved ones that we care about them, the thing that really gets lost at this time of year is the old saying "It is the thought that counts" The price and item itself are not the important part of the season, we are not in competition. Get the idea out of your head that the size or cost of the gift tell you how much someone cares about you. You need to be thankful that you have someone in your life that cares enough to go out and purchase you something because they love or care about you. Understanding that just getting a gift is something several people would find extremely important and some people simply can't afford big expensive gifts. Remember being in love doesn't have to cost you. Another thing I like to caution people on is saying that Santa only brings presents to good boys and girls. There are several children out there that get nothing for Christmas and they aren't bad children. It might be a case of a parent getting laid off work or a family struggling to just pay their bills. Whatever the cause the children shouldn't be made to feel like they did something to desire no presents from the jolly man. A nice surprise might be to find out one of these families and either purchase items for them or go through some of your old things and find toys or clothes that would help them out. You might be amazed at how good you will feel by doing this.
