A Perfect Gift for Christmas…


Wohoo… Christmas is around the corner. Some of us are busying with their Christmas preparation and gifts hunting. Looking and thinking for the best gift to their love ones. Decorating their house with Christmas lightings and most importantly Christmas tree.

As I aware of this season, I can only use one word to describe Christmas…. “BUSY”…

Too busy with shopping, preparations, thinking how to make your love ones happy during Christmas. Well, yes, it’s really worth it to see your love ones having a smile on their face. But then, don’t be to busy until you neglected what’s really important in your life and someone who needs you the most.

What’s perfect gift for Christmas?

Your family members might come and approach you with a list of stuff they want for Christmas. Some might be expensive, hard to get and unnecessary. Well, I guess it’s normal for people to give request and know what the best gift of the year is.

I still remember there’s one time my mom came up to me tell me this:-

“Son, do you know that’s the best gift you had given to me?” she asked.
“Hmmm… what’s that?” I asked.
“It’s the mother’s day card that you made for me by ourselves.” she replied.
“But that’s very cheap and it doesn’t cost much.” I asked with curious.
“When I look on that card, I can imagine your little hands doing all the designing and most importantly is the effort you put on the card.” she said.

This really put a smile on my face.

Do you ever encounter your love ones keep telling you not to spend anything for him/ her for Christmas? For me personally, these are the people that really love me and understand me the most.

They know that you’ll be spending a lot during Christmas; food, parties, gifts, entertainments and last but not least your existing commitments. We know pretty well that they are saying this it’s because they are concern and care for you. Funny thing is that they might feel sad when you brought something them an expensive gift for them.

So, what is the perfect gift for Christmas?

A hand made Christmas card, cook Christmas dinner, and give your love one a long and romantic kiss in the Christmas morning. Besides all these, most importantly to be home for Christmas and spending good time with your love ones…

In this point of time, I suddenly feel so sad. Not sure why…
Anyway, I realized something; your siblings and friends might come to you and said they want this and that but your parents and your true love will say “No, don’t spend for me in Christmas. Keep it as your savings or use it during emergency.”

I really thankful to these people in my life, they really concern about my everything and they know the burdens and responsibility that I’m carrying.

“So, what do you want for Christmas if you don’t want me to spend?”

“Just spend your Christmas with me. You are the best gift I ever have.”

Wow, how sweet that sound. It’s just so touched to know that all they want for Christmas is you and only you.

If you don’t know what to give to your love ones for Christmas, just look in to their eyes and the answer is there.

Merry Christmas to you all.
