... is giving! I mean seriously, the look on the receiver's face is priceless! The best reaction I've seen was last night on Christmas Eve. We had some company over and you know how awkward those family gatherings can be. So after a quick visit, almost everyone had scooted out except for my Dad's oldest sister, her husband, and one of her sons. Years ago, my Dad's Dad had given my Mom his wife's silver after she had died. No one knows why he gave it to her, but he actually forgot and had no idea where it was. My mom decided it was right for the oldest sister to have it. So when my aunt opened it, she started crying! It was the best reaction I could have ever hoped for!
Another really great reaction I got this year was from my little sister who's in 5th grade. I had given her a make up bag and when she unwrapped it, I told her to look inside. She pulled out some pads and tampons and a note to 'keep this in your locker just in case.' The look of shock on her face was hilarious! Me and my mom couldn't stop laughing!
So even though I could fit all my gifts into two, small gift bags, it was worth it! Christmas is so much better when it's meaningful!
