This Christmas, would you rather give gifts or receive? Which makes you feel better?

I love to give mainly because I love to see the reaction on their face ........ I would rather give because if someone gives something to me I will also like to do something in return

I rather give than to recieve. As a true christian we must always have these kind of manners.

Don't get me wrong, receiving a gift of meaning is great. But I am more of a giver. I enjoy seeing a person like what they received. I like the fact that the person realizes how much I listen and pay attention. Most of the time, the person will be shocked that I remembered a conversation we had and then bought something that reminded me of that conversation. It is very satisfying because they know I care and listen. :)

I really love both. I tend to overgive during the Holidays...its my downfall. And even though I love receving gifts too, I'd just be as happy with what I have gave out and got nothing back.

Each and every Christmas, I enjoy giving gifts to others - specifially, my children. I believe that it is very rewarding to give to others and bring joy in their lives. I enjoy receiving gifts as well, however, I would have to say that most of the gifts that I receive are throughout the year. My friends and family provide their support, love, and friendship all year long. To me, those are the greatest gifts of all, and I love to be both on the giving and receiving end of those gifts.

yes, it's an expression of love. big or small, wrapped or unwrapped or things that can't be wrapped, gifts are always tokens of affection and care :)
