Your Temporary Santa, "He says presents aren't important, but I think they are- not because of how much they cost, but for the opportunity they provide to say 'I understand you.

Gift giving is a true art.

1. You need to understand the person to whom you intend to give the gift.

2. You need to know what they truly want.

3. You must be able to give it to them.

Anything less is a symptom of varying degrees, on your part, of ignorance, distance, or insult.

But if you cannot afford the right gift, telling the person what you would do if you could, justifies everything—as you present that not-so-perfect substitute.

The excellence of a gift lies in its appropriateness rather than in its
value.

The greatest gifts are those that say, “I know you”.

You are the gift that only you would have to give.

"Gifts from the heart need not be disguised, but carefully examined by the receivers." ~Tom Baker
