Find That Gift For Him

We get caught up in the hype and razzle and conspicuous comsumption of Christmas very easily, and often I think we forget the meaning behind all those gifts.

Because yes, Christmas is about gifts, but it’s about a whole lot more that often isn’t remembered. Of course there’s the religious aspect, but that’s not what I wanted to talk about today.

It’s what we mean when we give a gift to someone, either at Christmas, or at any other time.

Of course it’s different for everyone, but for me the meaning behind the giving of a gift is a simple one.

To me it’s someone saying I love you to someone else. You’re important to me, my relationship with me matters, and I’m telling you with a gift.

Now that’s great, nothing wrong there. I just think that we get so caught up in it all that we forget that bit sometimes.

So make sure this Christmas you remember that bit too. And you make sure that the “I love you” message isn’t lost in all the clutter of Christmas. Don’t just say it with a gift, tell them, show it and live it in as many different ways as you can think of.

And make sure you, and your gift recipients, all have a wonderful Christmas filled with love.

My best wishes to all of you for Christmas.

Peter
