Christmas Presents
Xangans, I feel that I really have to be the moralistic one here for just a second. Wait, phone is ringing for the millionth time…(picks up phone, comes back), God I hate telemarketers. Anyway, so back to what I was saying, I feel that I need to send this message out before everyone goes crazy with their credit cards and purchase decisions, because I already feel the materialism in everyone:
It’s not about the price tag of the present,
but more of, what comes from the heart.
I am guilty of such though. I am known to give out kick-ass presents regardless of how expensive the present is, however, I just hate to always have the thought that “if it’s expensive, it has to be good.”
To be quite honest, I don’t expect anything for Christmas. It’s always better that way. You give and you teach yourself not to expect, and suddenly things feel a bit joyous, and you’re hardly ever dissapointed.
I know Christmas is still far away, but to me, Christmas is all about family and friends AND the tree. I had a wonderful Christmas last year, and my memories weren’t created in presents, — but with people.
So I just hope that this year, it will be the same.
Just remember to give from the heart.

Sorry for the very choppy thoughts up there, I’m just rushing for work, and the worst part is, I don’t really want to go to work. I’m nice and warm in the comfort of my room, but now is time for some slave labour…

i’m guilty too. i always tend to spoil people with expensive gifts. sucks…
i feel guilty
i tend to give gifts that are thoughtful & pricy at the same time. especially if they are bday gifts.
anyways, thank you ! i think the only reason why im updating more on xanga now is cos of new layout. HAHA.
gifts are nice, but i’m a more of a “it’s the thought/effort that counts” person. god, what’s wrong with me. why don’t i like gifts?
