it makes my day

but im also happy with getting cuz ik that person worked hard to make me happy with the present they got me

Answer 2

Wow, your question assumes that everyone REALLY likes getting better! Now that I give it some thought, I guess that's true.



See, I was going to say that I like giving better, but I give in hopes of receiving. I really enjoy giving gifts more than I enjoy receiving them, but the reason is because I GET when I give.



I get the enjoyment of shopping, which I love to do. I make a lot of crafts for Christmas as well, and it's therapeutic for me so I get that therapy. I love, love, love wrapping gifts so when I do, I get the enjoyment of that process. When I get gifts, I get to see the joy of the recipients and I get the satisfaction of knowing I gave them that joy. I get to feel appreciated, which is something I feel I need. I even get to express my feelings through gifts. For example, I have a sister I can't stand. We do not speak to each other at all. But I give her and her kids gifts. It's my way of letting them know I love them in spite of it all.



And the truth of the matter is that if I didn't receive all those things, I probably wouldn't bother with it at all.

Answer 3

Actually, giving gifts to family and friends I find kind of tedious because it's expected. I prefer to give to the food bank or to Toys for Tots because I know that stuff goes to people who wouldn't have a Christmas dinner or Christmas presents to open. THAT'S the kind of giving I believe we should do and the kind of giving that has more rewards. I know I feel better knowing I helped someone, even if it's something as small as a nice(r) meal or a toy...

Answer 4

When I was little, it was definitely all about the getting lol

but once I got to about 11, I really enjoyed giving

Now, I could have a great Christmas just by giving and decorating and being with family

But I think everyone would be a little upset if they didn't get at least one present ;D

Answer 5

I do care about giving, it makes me happy to know I'm making someone I care about happy as cheesy as that sounds.

And of course I care about getting! It's the best part :)

Answer 6

I love the whole reciprocity of the situation. I give all year long, so it is nice to receive for a change.

Answer 7

i think both the same. i really like to give because i love to see the look on ppls faces when they open it but i also like to get because... well i think thats kind of obvious lol

Answer 8

truthfully... both.

everyone likes recieving presents but i also like to see the look on the face of the person ive given a present to.

Answer 9

Getting. When I shop for people I think "oh my gosh I really want this, I can't give it away" so it's hard to shop for people lol.

Answer 10
