This is a question that I also have in my mind. Right now, I cannot think of a very good Christmas gift to give to important people. I only started giving out gifts last year when my finances allowed me to be a little more generous. I believe I will do it once again this year.
But what? Of course they cannot be extra-expensive because I still have a lot to worry about, but they shouldn't also look so cheap. Maybe once I get there I will already find out? Now that is a very tedious process, given the sheer density of people flocking to the malls for the season. It isn't called the holiday when the people consumed the most for no apparent reason.
More than the actual finding of gifts to give, another thing to look forward to during Christmas is wrapping the gifts. Last year, we have them wrapped in the free wrapping station of the department store because they were so many. This year, I hope we may be able to wrap it ourselves. We bought the goods with not much time in our hands then, anyway. But then again, there are associated higher costs when in the mall, the gifts are wrapped for free.
That made me wonder. If wrapping more than a dozen gifts personally chosen for my cousins already sounds tedious to me, then just imagine the work of these people to wrap all gifts presented to them one by one. That should hurt their hands. I hope they get fairly compensated for their job so that they may be able to purchase their own gifts and have them wrapped for their loved ones--let's just hope that there will be more people who would wrap, the so-called "wrappers."
Ah yes, Christmas. You never fail to make anyone crazy with all the business going around. Just you wait until a week before the big day.
