Christmas Gifts Mostly Wanted by Children

I had actually listed the names of my godchildren a month ago but until now I have not bought anything yet as presents. It still confuses me which gift is best to give them. Then I suddenly tuned in to a television program listing the three common things little boys and girls would love to receive this Christmas.

For little boys: board games, matchbox, balls

For little girls: makeup kit toys, stuffed toys, dolls

Great! Now I have idea what to buy this early season. I hate Christmas rush so I better run into malls today. Gotta go!

The Gift I Have

A friend once gave me one variety of a tree some 5 years ago (or maybe 7, I forgot). It was still a plant when it was given. I remembered I was still in my college years those times. It was something I never gave much attention to or taken cared much as I was an ideal but typical student, concerned of getting a higher mark to maintain my academic privilege. Years gone by and I hardly noticed that the plant turned into a tree and was growing healthier and bigger, even without me taking care of it. Nature really has its way of everything. I was amazed. Soon I tried nursing it by my own hands. It did grew well.

This tree is an inspiration. It gives me joy. Everyday I look forward to seeing it, wanting to see that it is healthy and fine. The anticipation is a vitamin that energizes me. That beyond these anxieties and troubles I have, I still have this wonderful gift making me feel I have conquered my fears and the world.

Nature has its give and take cycles, I know. Yet, this, the gift that was given to me even if cannot speak the language I am speaking, just the presence of it is a joy for me. They have said I must give back to Nature the nursing so I can take care of other things too because Nature brings back everything to dust. And they knew that this will bring me to grief. And yes, I am trying to let go of the nursing; bringing it back to Nature slowly.

I know that soon I can finally let Nature take care of it in full. The tree will have to meet day and night but all in accordance to Nature. It will grow bigger and sturdy but it will also have to return to the earth's crust. It may not be soon. But the Acacia Tree will, eventually.

What do I want for Christmas?

I used to think I have nothing to ask this Christmas, except of course for money. But well, only my company can give me that much amount. Unfortunately, for this season, I will not be receiving big (blame it to the world crisis they were talking about) So let's crash it off my blank list. So instead of dreaming of it, why not make a reality check. So I wrote on my Christmas gift list, number one and only one, Paolo Coelho's books.

This thought came to me as I wander the NBS this afternoon waiting for my friend to see me. I got bored after buying my stuffs so I went in immediately to the section where the bestselling books were shelved. I was almost tempted to swipe all the books but realized I had better things to put aside my money for. So if you are thinking and planning to to give me gifts, I let you not bother buying me any other. I suggest you grab Paulo Coelho's and wrap it up for me. hehe. Veronika Decides To Die and The Alchemist are the two that interest me most to read. :D I am on my reading with Brida. ;)

I may have second, third, fourth, and so on things on my future list so better be updated. lol. Jaa, arigatou ne!
