I love to give gifts, and see the little faces light up. I do not have a lot of money this year for Christmas, so I am thinking about making some things. When I give, I do get my feelings hurt, if no one remembers me, but I do understand the money situation. What about you, what is your thinking about giving or receiving?

What I did last year, I didn't have a lot of money either, I threw a christmas party with all of my family and friends and told everyone to bring a gift for a child the age of 5-10. Well first I catered it. I paid like $100 to have it catered by a mexican resturant, enough to feed like 40 people. Everyone showed up all excited about the idea and I donated it all to a family in need in my community. Now seeing the look on their face was priceless! I just told my family that I didn't have a lot of $ to spend on them and they were so excited that I was helping others they didn't care. It is the thought. You should Bake. Buy little baskets and put a christmas towel in there with some cookies and maybe like a christmas tree decoration. It shows more heart anyway. Have fun!

Receiving gifts is great, everyone likes to feel that someone has thought about them and chosen a gift specifically with them in mind. With this in mind I think that giving is the best option as regardless the the $ value of the gift the action alone demonstrates that you care and will make most people happy.

Hi. I gew up in a poor environment. We never had many gifts of any kind. So now when I get the chance I just love to shower people with gifts, especially the little ones.

Receive! I'm sorry. Wish I were a more giving sort of person, but tat would be lying. To be perfectly honest I love receiving gifts more.

I like best to give gift, but do feel sad when I expect something from a special someone and don't get it. That pisses me off.

giving is best. i spend a lot of energy thinking up something special and unique for the person that i think they will really love and will be good for their personality and yet something they will be surprised by, and making it is as good as buying it sometimes. little weird things that don't cost much but are odd and clever are my thing. much better than getting.

I desire I knew. The denomination i'm in now will in trouble-free terms provide help to be authorized, ordained, or regardless of they call it in case you could teach evidence of having been baptized by using the Holy Spirit by using the preliminary present of conversing in tongues. because has no longer happened to me, i'm ineligible for licensure. i think of there is too plenty emphasis located on that one present; as somebody else mentioned, there are various presents, and that i will't understand why that one is held in plenty esteem to the seeming ignoring of others.

I like to give too. and I really miss not having any little ones to buy for anymore. So we go buy a bunch of toys and drop them in the toys for tots bins. Still miss not getting to see them opened. But it's still fun to shop for them.

It's always nice to receive but the feeling you get in giving to others is unbeatable.
