When it comes to the holiday season, I enjoy giving then receiving. I love buying gifts for family and friends. I love seeing the joy on someone else's face opening up a physical gift then just a gift card in an envelope. Its completely beautiful to watch the neat wrapping get torn apart and seeing the eyes light up before the smile appears on their faces of unexpected pure joy that can't be cover up with a filter . I enjoy receiving the Christmas cards than gifts, the idea of card picked out just for a special individual by a loved one . Writing down a little note on one side is better than a text message, there is pure love and no abbreviations to shorten the sentences. I enjoy seeing someone's thoughts written down on a card sent to me , it's the unexpected notes that make me smile leaving the mail boxes before I even look at a single card. The very best part about giving is time to me, Volunteering or planning a surprise visit to see that special someone you haven't seen in a long time. Helping at a local charity for a day, giving your time to help serve food at a local church , help decorate someone house. You never know what your time and love can affect someone else's life for a few moments or for their whole lives. Better to give than to receive leaves a bigger footprint than anyone could leave behind and giving through out the year than just during the holiday season.
