Season's Greetings

Hi friend.

Sorry to hear that you had such bad experiences in the whole gift giving thing. The fact is, you are right. We must remember or learn how to receive a gift. Just the other day I saw a gift I had given, one that I expected to last a lifetime, going out in the dump and it tore my heart out, not because it had cost me fortune back then, which it did. Not because it took me the whole day to assemble, which it did. Not even because I asked the shop people to hold it a few days before and made special arrangement to deliver the dissemble 400lbs unit. It is mainly because I thought my family really needed it and 20 years and some 400lbs combine weight increase, it seems they did, but never used.

 

 

Season’s Greetings

 

Sad thought to think they never appreciate

Early trips off to town and coming back late

All wishing to get the perfect gifts for them

Some careful selection not some “blood” gem

Only to insult you with their ungrateful pout

Not a social courtesy, just their unthankful shout

aint right, Christmas giving should be gifts from the heart

So lovers or any other should know from the start

Gifts shopping requires money, thought and time

Recycled gifts don’t qualify, that is a crime

Even sometimes old items refurbished or made from scratch

Emanated creatively with no underlying catch 

Takes the prize for notable claim

I think this was the original gift giving aim

Not so much the gifts of the lover as the love of the giver  

Gift size doesn’t count, what matters is the thought of the lover

So give from your hearts everyone and receive like you care

      Season’s Greetings to all, have a Happy New Year!
