Gift of the Magi... Tuesday 4

Hi friends! 

Did you know that all of Noah's friends on Facebook and Twitter un-followed him because he kept posting troubling posts about the world's condition and they were sick of hearing about it?   Well, they did and then the rain came and it didn't matter anymore.
 

Gift of the Magi

 Welcome to Tuesday 4 kept up in honor and memory of Toni Taddeo.

Let's talk about gifts this week.

1. Whether it's Christmas, Chanukah or a birthday party nice gifts can be hard to pick out.  Is there a safe go to gift you think will fit anyone?  

I think flowers,foods(basket of teas, coffees with cup, etc.) candy or wine are good things to try.

2. Is wrapping a gift a necessary part of the excitement of giving and receiving?

I think so, yes. A beautifully packaged present is lovely and says you cared to make it special.

3. What gifts given to you did you love the most?

My favorite gifts are from my children... a key rack my son made, a sign pounded out with nail holes with a heart from my daughter(Her brother helped her), a carved Ivory soap in form of an eagle from the famous Anonymous and a lovely I love you to the moon and back from the Little.

There are others they have made me and I really love these gifts far above any others.

4. In the O. Henry book The Gift of the Magi, a man sells his pocket watch to buy some beautiful hair  combs  for his wife's long hair  but she has sold her hair to buy him a platinum pocket watch chain.

Have you ever saved long and hard to buy someone a special gift? Would you be okay with a holiday that  didn't include gifts? Would friends and family understand?

Yes. I have to save up for most gifts I give or spend a lot of time crocheting, etc.

I have had many holidays without gifts. I was extremely poor while my kids were little.

If you've not read the works of O. Henry, get cracking. They are marvelous!
