I am a Christian, I think if there were no tradition for giving presents I would start one! I LOVE giving people presents, I really enjoy looking for that special gift for someone and I get a real thrill out of making people happy - I made most of my presents last year and I make a large proportion of my Christmas Cards. I do not expect gifts, and rarely give frivolities, rather giving something of use or which is needed I do hate the commercialism that the shops make of this time, my pet hate is the TV adverts during kids TV for the 4 months preceeding Christmas!
Hope you are blessed with all the gifts of a happy life this Christmas,
Lucy
