Wrapping Gifts

Christmas 2009 is coming up! Less than a week! Yayyy!
So, since I am the "spirit of Christmas", I am getting ready for it. Usually, I wrap as I buy gifts. This year, I waited until now. And I dislike myself for that. I spent over an hour wrapping gifts.
Here is something you may or may not know about me. I love spoiling people. Seriously, I love buying people gifts and knowing that what I got them will be used, that it is being enjoyed. I do not ever expect anything in return and usually do not ever want anything in return.
I don't want to come off as sounding "wealthy", because personally, I really am not. However, come Christmastime I am generally given a lot. And, I am very grateful for my family being able to do so. These are not things that I "need", but extras. I try to ask for things that I need, or think that I need atleast... So, when I give people gifts I do not expect anything in return. In fact, I generally prefer it that way.
My favorite thing to do during the holiday season is to pick a name at my church of a child who is less fortunate than most and buy them gifts. That, to me, is what Christmas is all about. It isn't about getting what you want, or giving to those who already have a lot. In fact, I would prefer if instead of giving gifts to me, that the money going towards me would go to a child in need.
Also, I give gifts to Sherry's House for children with cancer.
I wasn't able to do that this year. Honestly, I forgot. When I remembered, I was very very very upset. The only thing left that I had to do was to send a card to a wounded soldier, and I am glad that I did. Hopefully what I wrote cheers him/her up.. I've been told I write funny things sometimes. (:
But, I really wish that I had remembered to give the kids christmas presents...
