Christmas is fast approaching and everyone is excite to receive a christmas gift weither you are young or old you would be happy to receive gift from your loveone or you are the one who give a gift to them. It is the time to share and give gift to all important people around us. But if you dont have anything to give you can still give gift by showing how you love them. Well, as for the moment i dont receive christmas gift but i remember when i was young about 7 years old of age i receive a big yet thin box about three inches thick, i was very excited because i thought it was my favorite toy inside but i receive i huge blue photo album. What should i do with it?

hi riyasam, New mobile phone are more complicated than the old one but dont you worry if you dont know how to operate your knew mobile phone for you can regift it and send it to me as a gift so i can have a gift from you. (joke)We should be partical nowadays if we dont like or we dont know how to use the gift we recieve we can always regift it to others who might like it. Thanks for the respond.

That good riyasam, if you realy wanted to learn who to use it, you can always consult the manual of the phone kit. Read it carefully and their to explore your phone, you will discover how amazing your phone is. Thanks for the respond.

My wife and I have sort of bought our Christmas gifts for each already and both got new mobile phones a couple of weeks ago. Christmas is not celebrated heavily here in Cairo and we are both away from our home and families so we don't make too much of a fuss when this time of year comes around. I remember getting gifts as a child and being so excited too, yet when I opened them, it was a pair of socks or a jumper or something. The hard part was trying to be polite and act as if it was such a wonderful gesture! I reckon you have a number of choices with the photo album. You can either use it as intended, or regift it! You have certainly had it long enough now to not be caught out if you offer it to someone else!

Oh sorry to here that james, i forgot that not all people celebrate christmas eve for some its against their belief, but it doesnt stop us who believe in Jesus to celebrate christmas even in those counrtries you belong now. Well i know that you are jumping for joy for you have your new mobile phone already, but if you dont like it you can still fake it buy trying to polite just like you did before. . `A sock in a good gift for you can hang it under the christmas tree or put it on the front door, maybe someone will put something on it. Have you ever thought of that before?

lol. The only thing I can be sure of if I put a sock on the door on Christmas Eve is that the following morning I will be missing a sock!

Hi there Margarit. Before we left town, me and my girlfriend exchanged some gifts from our tree there in my city but we do have presents to put under her parents tree for each other, so no harm done. She got me 2 Disney DVD's wrapped separately and i got her 1 as well and a Disney Blanket and 1 Lingerie set.

With Christmas fast approaching, it is the time of year to give. Whether it is a gift of a material item or simply the gift of love, it is a happy time of year for some. I love to give gifts to those close and important to me. I have received an early Christmas gift which was a large Cystine crystal pendant which I adore tremendously. It is absolutely glorious. If I received a huge blue photo album i would fill it with photos that were special to me. Photo albums can be a lot of fun to look back on with family and friends from time to time.

My husband and I usually buy something that we both want before Christmas as a joint present. This year we bought a new TV for our motorhome and we are sitting watching it at the moment. Multi tasking again. The worst present I had was a pack of five awful coloured tights, two sizes too big for me. I put them in the bag for the charity shop. I hope someone liked them. Have a good Christmas Margarit.

, i never thought that other people are not so sensive to give something which is useless for us, i prefer to give cash instead of item if i dont know what kind of thing they need or like. Thanks for the respond.

I have not received any Christmas gifts yet. I hope I will though. My family usually exchange all their gifts on Christmas Eve. I remember when I was around nine years old I got a lovely big present from some relatives and I could not wait to open it, as it was big. When I did finally open it on Christmas day I was really disappointed to find a table lamp inside it. I think children and table lamps do not really go though. It does sound ungrateful but I was only little.
