What gifts do you want for Christmas? is it better to give or to receive?

Anything will do for me. It is the thoughts that count. I give more than I receive as I have many nieces and nephews that are looking forward to receive something from me as this is only a once a year affair. Giving gives me more happiness when I see the sparkle in the eyes of the receivers receiving that beautifully wrapped presents I have specially made out for them.

It is better to give than to receive I think. The true essence of it is religious and remembering the story of Baby Jesus being born in the stable at Bethlehem. In my house I have got a small Christmas tree and it is decorated with tinsel plus colorful balls. The Christmas presents I hope to get are some books, a tropical calendar and any other things people have decided to give me. Really for me Christmas is about seeing my children delight in opening and playing with their presents.

Giving gifts, especially to children. feels really nice. I guess I enjoy giving gifts way more then receiving. But gifts from family always are welcome. even if it is a small thing. it's thew thought that counts.

I honestly and truthfully prefer giving presents. I have very particular taste, so most people give me things I don't really love anyway (if I am lucky, I will like them, let's just put it like that). But making others happy, by giving them something, for instance, really makes me happy. So it is the best feeling in the world for me!

I dont need gifts i need love but well it will not show just like that right :P Well everybody like to receive , but to receive someone else got to give :D The best option is to do both they make you happy you make them happy everyone is happy :P

The essence of Christmas is to give love, share,happy and etc.We have the saying "It's better to give,than to receive".It is absolutely true it's nice when we able to give or share something to other.We have this unexplainable feeling when we knew,we able to help them even a little but for them it means a lot and we didn't know how we make them happy.When we seen their smile,our hearts jumping for happiness too.We are very blessed what we received a lot of blessings to God.We are very lucky to have,our needs that our parents provided it for us.Then, why just share even do a little?To those unlucky one,who's less fortunate.

Well, the first thing you'll need is, obviously, a gift. The next thing you'll need is a gift wrapper. If you have both, you are well no your way no wrapping up your gift. I don't know the essence of gift giving but what i know is it's mainly a sign of gratitude. We give gifts to express our gratitude to the other person. Most part of the year, we're all busy and we can't get ourselves to repay other's kindness so i think this is the perfect time to express that suppressed gratitude we've accumulated throughout the year.
