Thinking of what to give for Christmas?


Thinking of what to give for Christmas?

Are you wondering what to give for Christmas presents?  Are you already organized or have not written a list yet and do not have a clue what to give?
Perhaps you need a gift for a Chris Kringle and have a limit or perhaps you want to find a special gift, different from what you have given previous years.

Christmas is for giving gifts not for exchanging gifts. Giving a gift has no expectation of receiving one, whereas exchanging a gift comes with the expectation that I will receive as a condition of giving. We all have received gifts that we would not have chosen for ourselves. Nevertheless, it is important to stop and think and be grateful for what we have received. The person who chose it for us thought that we would like it. 

After Christmas, shops of full of people exchanging gifts that they received from someone who loved them enough to give them a gift. Obviously some exchanges are appropriate such as a wrong size, but I wonder whether selling an unwanted gift or recycling it during the next year is really in the spirit of Christmas and giving.

Why not give a gift of religious nature this Christmas? We are celebrating a religious feast and helping others to remember Christ throughout the year is indeed a gift.  The following website may assist you in your search for the perfect Christian gift.  Happy gift hunting and gift giving.
