Mike Watson: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Gift giving is an art--not just the packaging and wrapping, though that can be a masterpiece in the hands of the truly gifted. The thought and time that goes into the selection of a present is worth far more, at least to many, than is the actual item.

By Mike Watson

Christmas, the special day set aside long ago to celebrate the birth of Jesus, and a special day for so many people around the globe, is eagerly anticipated by youngsters and oldsters alike, but often in different ways. One common excitement for many is the anticipated receipt of a gift, or a wagon load of them. Of course there is the debate that rages each year as to the necessity and fiscal responsibilities of spending for items not needed and perhaps, secretly, not wanted by the receiver. We all know the answer--it is the thought that counts.
