Wow, Time is so fast. Next week is already December! This means we have to prepare our Christmas gifts!How I wish I'll be a child again since I receive a lot of gifts when I was a child. Now that I'm grown up already, I am the one giving gifts!! How about you? do you like giving gifts or receiving gifts?

I was not a Christian when I am a child. I became Christian when I met my wife who is a Christian. She brought me to church. Therefore, I can't compare whether Christmas is more interesting now or then. However, I like Christmas because of its wonderful and meaningful message of God's gift to mankind. I also love the Christmas decorations in the malls plus I like to see the joy on my son's face as he open his present.

There are times that I think the same. Now we realize how life's so hard as we grow up. Unlike our childhood days, those carefree days of fun, play and laughter. Gifts...now we need to start wrapping for small kids

I just watched the animated movie called "Rise of the Guardians". It reminds me of Christmas is near. Yes, you are absolutely right. Time passes by so fast and we are near to the end of the year with new resolutions to be made. Me too, Christmas is much more fun and full of surprises when we are a child. Received gifts, sing Christmas carols from house to house and the true joy we experienced. How I wish that I can turned back time to my childhood with my son to see the Christmas that I experienced in the countryside - less commercialised but full of the true spirit of Christmas. I do give gifts during Christmas :)

Well kids are pretty much excited for Christmas, with gifts that they will received. I also misses being a child during Christmas since there are no things to worry about and just enjoy the season. I also like receiving gifts and giving gifts too even in simple ways that could somehow brings smile and joy to other people. They always says that it the thoughts that count and the happiness that it could bring to other people.

Hahaha! My sentiments exactly. As if you were reading my mind! Being an adult during Christmas is really a pain, not only for the pocket but also the brain. First you have to list down the names, checking it twice then finding the ample gifts for each of them. After which you will send them out before December 24th which is very difficult for courier and even difficult for personal delivery due to traffic. Indeed, being a child is very different! You only get to receive gifts, frown on the gifts you don't like and be merry on the gifts you truly enjoy. Sigh, how I wish I can turn back the clock. Oh well, let us not forget the true meaning of Christmas which is to remember the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ!

I like to become a child again during Christmas time, it is the best time of the year for a child. Receiving gift is a lot more fun than giving gift, it is quite natural to think this way.

The smile of having a present will surely make the giver feels so blessed. It gives more delighted when the receiver is so grateful. If the presents are that simple, you can still bring joy to their lives.
