The way we give and receive gifts indicates a great deal about ourselves. It takes time, thoughtfulness, and creativity to select a present for someone we care about. Often the present becomes a symbol of friendship or involves an item to fill a specific need.
On other occasions, the gift selection feels mandatory and takes less effort. The gift of our presence for someone in need also requires thought and skill.
Receiving a gift that has no meaning requires a delicate response. Self-awarensss and empathy run through the exchange process.
Write about gift giving and receiving. Begin with a present you did not appreciate at first. Why did it gain in meaning? Or did it represent something you're still attempting to resolve?
