There is no such thing as: The Worst Christmas Present, ever received.
That concept was probably started by some ungrateful atheist expecting
a Fortnum & Mason Hamper but was given a Luncheon Voucher for a
bowl of gruel and crust of bread from his employer, Ebenezer Scrooge.
The spirit of Christmas is not what you receive nor what you give in
guilt, for perhaps having left someone out of your list the year before and
had been given a splendid gift. No, that is not the spirit of Christmas.
So, however hard it may be, this year, to reach into our pockets and
purses in order to buy a little something for loved ones and friends,
do not consider it an exchange of gifts by tradition. Consider it the true
spirit of Christmas in which we all share what little we have as one
big Christian Family and an expression of thanks celebrating the birth
of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
