My budget is small this year. Been out of work for a while. If I had lots of money like I used to I would go mad again and buy all those closest to me things I know they would like. But I would like to give them more than they would want to receive them.
I wouldnt go really mad though. People don't like receiving expensive gifts if they can't get you something back of equal or near value. Well some people. Not so much really genuine real good people.
So this year will be just humble gifts but the willingness will be the same. I've always liked giving more than receiving. Well, 99% of the time anyway. Depends what I need and how its given me.
Its not the size of the gift that matters. Its not how expensive it is. What matters is the size of the love thats behind it. Some people just give gifts because they feel like they have to. Thats not how it should be. We should give gifts because Jesus' life was a gift for us so we mimic that in giving gifts.
And yes absolutely well I don't dislike it. Because God is in control of all things. So I give thanks to Him for all things. Even the commercialisation of Christmas or Xmas as the world likes to call it not realizing its another way of saying Jesusmas.
It seems every year the world commercializes Christmas even more and more. I actually don't really like it that much. I get depressed around that time. And I think about all the people that dont have a home or anyone to be with on that day. It breaks my heart. I guess I need to do something about this passion.
