What Do You Want for Your Christmas Gift This 2019?

Reflecting on the past year and dreaming of what gifts would have made the holidays perfect, the theme of nostalgia and hope often emerges. As we approach the end of 2019, let’s explore the idea of giving gifts that not only fill the spirit of the season but also hold personal significance.

Unsatisfying Christmas Wishes

One year, my wish for a Christmas gift was for the album Wunderbare Welt Der Volksmusik. Little did I know, it would come wrapped in a quirky, albeit unexpected, gift from someone close to me. It was a naked lady drinking from a container, a piece of Art by Faye Hathaway, which she had bought and thought would be a funny joke. Those were days when my heart was filled with love and trust for her, but now, that gift stands as a symbol of a broken trust.

New Year's Eve Deliveries

The year 2019 came to an end, and I was hopeful that the gifts I wished for, such as Wunderbare Welt Der Volksmusik and a Del Reeves CD, would arrive by Christmas. However, they were late, delivered on New Year's Eve. The delay was not only frustrating but also stirred concerns about potential scams, like the Digits Pro DHL email scam from eBay.

Gifts for Children: A Nostalgic Tradition

For those of us who loved reading as children, the joy of giving books is a tradition that spans generations. This year, I wish to gift children learning books as they grow, especially for those who love books. Books are more than just entertainment; they are a gateway to knowledge and imagination. Even if the recipient is not a book lover, the gift of a book can be a cherished treasure.

Personalized Gifts

For those who seek a more unique and personal touch, consider gifting personalized children's books. These books can be tailor-made with custom labels, cover designs, and character names. They offer a memorable and precious gift that is truly one-of-a-kind, ensuring that the child will never forget the thoughtful and loving gesture.

No Gifts: The Art of Unwinding

As we approach the holiday season, some of us might decide to give ourselves a break from the gift-giving frenzy. I have found that even when I request no gifts, I inevitably receive a couple. It is the small, unexpected presents from loved ones that bring the true spirit of the holiday season.

Creating Your Own Gifts

There are so many creative ways to make your own gifts. Take, for example, a handmade gift made from colored metal aluminum wire. It took me a week to create this by hand, and the process itself became a treasured memory.

No matter the gift, the spirit of generosity and thoughtfulness is what truly makes the holiday season special. Whether it’s a beloved album, a thoughtful book, or a personalized creation, the warmth and joy that these gifts bring reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas.
