Why Giving Christmas Presents Can be Better than Getting
1. Love
Don’t make choosing, buying or making a Christmas present for your child a chore this year. But help them to choose a few people that are special to them to give gifts to this year.
Its helpful to choose people that they know really well like siblings, friends or close family members. It doesn’t matter if they buy or make something – it just needs to be something that they can be interested in, something that they can make or they can choose.
A gift from their heart will hold a special place in the recipient’s memories for years to come.
2. Joy
Everybody knows the joy of receiving a gift. But we sometimes forget in the chaos and stress of Christmas to ensure that our children feel the joy of giving Christmas gifts.
There is a special experience to be had in getting excited because you have chosen, wrapped and given a gift to somebody else you love and care for. It can actually boost your own happiness and well-being more than receiving a gift.
3. Peace
The weeks preceding the festive season are not always the most peaceful. Children can pick up on this and become frustrated with the waiting and over-stimulated with all the extra fun activities. Parents become tense and stressed with all the preparation and your home becomes one of damaging chaos.
But by enabling your children to give Christmas presents, you are welcoming them in to the preparation of Christmas. They suddenly have their own gifts to choose, make, wrap, label, hide, put under the tree. It brings them focus that is not about what they are getting and why the days are passing so slowly.
4. Hope
So whatever you are doing for Christmas Presents this year – whether you are making, baking, buying. Whether you are already fully finished or a last minute Christmas Eve shopper. Remember to take a moment to experience the joy of giving presents this year. We hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
