Up until now in life, I have had a habit of waiting until the last minute to figure out what gift I am going to give someone on a particular occasion.
And, as you can imagine, as I am writing this now exactly 1 week before Christmas, this habit has somewhat crept up on me again.
Or have I chosen to wait until the last minute?
Often, I struggle with this whole gift giving thing.
At times, I outright dislike it.
It has, at times, turned into just buying a bunch of stuff.
And I don't like the idea of that.
I am realizing that gift giving can and should take time. Not necessarily time getting the gift, but mostly time thinking about the person to whom you are giving a gift.
From now on, I am committing to choosing to spend time thinking about the person I am buying a gift for, and thinking about what I could buy them or make them that would bring joy to their life.
Rather than simply asking them what they want.
