I agree
with the second writer. The holiday season is not too materialistic. Most
people express their love on Christmas or any other holiday by giving gifts. I
feel that giving a gift to any child or adult, who has never received a gift on
Christmas will benefit them greatly. I donate a gift every Christmas to whoever
may need it. By donating, I hopefully made a child smile, and for me that feels
very good. In the past, I didn’t receive many toys on Christmas. At the most, I
received one or two a year. When I was given a present it made me feel happy,
and full of joy.
On the
holidays, my family usually buys all gifts in advance. My parents and my older
sister take turns every year buying presents. They don’t buy massive amounts of
toys, but they buy what they can afford. Sometimes present buying becomes very
hectic, because of my parent’s and sister’s budget. I step in and help with the
shopping too. My older brothers have children of their own, so they usually buy
presents for our mom and dad. My in-laws have a better plan for buying presents. They buy everything well in advance, and they
have a Christmas jar that they put money into. When Christmas is near they use
the money they have collected for presents. My friends deal with present buying
way worse. Due to their busy schedules, they only have time to buy presents
three or four days before Christmas. For them, the holiday season is sometimes stressful
and hectic.
The
holiday season is a very hectic season. Buying presents for your loved ones is something
to look forward to every year. Buying presents should be an enjoyable thing to
do. Giving your loved ones presents will always make them smile, and will show them
that you care.
Seeing someone smiles because you give something to them really feels good. I Everyone is looking forward to holiday season even though it is stressful & hectic for others.

ReplyDeleteIn these modern days it is much simpler to come across a meaningless present as appose to one that which effort was put into. I do however agree with what you mentioned about making some one else happy. After all it is what the holidays are about.
I agree that the holiday season is a time to make others happy. My family and I donate some of our clothes and toys every year.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you showed us your take on donating. I always thought of donating as giving people things they needed (i.e. food, water, shelter), but you made me realize that what people need most is a smile and some joy in their life.
ReplyDeleteMaking someone happy during the holidays is one of greatest gifts you can give someone. By doing that your showing that somebody cares for them and that is a feeling everyone should get to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteputting a smile on somebody's face when they receive an unexpected gift is the best feeling ever.
ReplyDeleteI think it is so great that you always donate presents. That is such a good idea to have a Christmas money jar.
ReplyDeleteit feels so great to give a gift to another! im sure you most definitely made someones day by donating a gift... that's a very special act of kindess you did.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the holiday season isn't materialistic because I too had only about 1 or 2 presents a year. I like the idea of donating and I will be doing that soon because I would like to make child feel like someone care about them.
