Here's a "cop-out" for all of you who are still pushing it. Remember that the ORIGINAL presents were given on the 12th night after Christmas. Take your time and enjoy the love you're putting into your projects. Make a hand made, or even a computer generated card which expresses your emotion for the recipient. Share, that like the Three Wise Men, they have time between December 25th, and 6 Jan to think about what may be in store for their future. Make it as fun or as serious as your traditional family celebration. Then, finish your sewing or shopping, (take advantage of the after Christmas sales). Then, on Epiphany, (Three Kings Night), present your gifts with pride, and open, rather than dark, droopy eyes.
This is how I was reared. My grandmother was from Columbia, and it was how she celebrated. It was natural for me because that was just how it was. But, as children, there were a few people who didn't understand. The first question people asked when we returned to school was always, "What did you get?" I explained that I was still in suspense, just like the Wise Men were as they traveled to the stable. Then, when you present your gift, it will actually mean more because it won't be diluted by other gifts, and the extra excitement of the wait will have built. Just remember that it is in the spirit and tradition of the ORIGINAL Christmas gifts.
