Today we are bombarded by commercials to start our gift shopping even before Halloween.\u00a0 The message being that only by purchasing the biggest, brightest, and most expensive presents will we be able to make our loved ones happy on Christmas morning.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-7347\" style=\"margin-left: 3px; margin-right: 3px; border-width: 1px; border-color: black; border-style: solid;\" title=\"It_Happened_One_Christmas\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theseasonforromance.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/It_Happened_One_Christmas.jpg?resize=220%2C356\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"356\" \/>Choosing the right gifts for people is a tricky business and not one I particularly enjoy. \u00a0I stress about it too much.\u00a0 There is always the worry that they won\u2019t like what I\u2019ve given them\u2026 What if they hate it?\u00a0 Or already have it?\u00a0 What if they think I\u2019m clueless for choosing this gift for them?\u00a0 Does the gift not show that I know them well enough?\u00a0 Oh, the pressure to give the perfect present!<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s because we love our families and friends so much that we want to please them with special gifts.\u00a0 Who doesn\u2019t want to hear an exclamation of delight when your sister cries, \u201cOh, I love it!\u201d upon unwrapping the framed photo of the two of you as children?\u00a0 Or the shout of joy when your son tears open the new Lego set he so desperately had to have?<\/p>\n<p>I love to give perfect gifts but it\u2019s very hard to do every time.\u00a0 I\u2019m a planner by nature and hate doing things at the last minute, so I\u2019ve already begun making my gift list. (But that is mostly because I have a very strong aversion to shopping in crowded stores and standing in long lines to pay for something.)\u00a0 Oh, I haven\u2019t bought anything just yet, but I\u2019ve started getting ideas for what to get for whom.\u00a0 There actually was one year when I had my all of my holiday gifts purchased and completely wrapped <strong><em>before<\/em><\/strong> Thanksgiving.\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 I know.\u00a0 It was amazing.\u00a0 And a feat I have yet to accomplish again.\u00a0 (I still hold out hope, almost twenty years later, that one day I will have the wherewithal to be that organized once more.)<\/p>\n<p>But I realized something today as I stood in a shop filled to the rafters with pretty things and wondered what my family would want. This commercialized version of Christmas that is crammed down our throats each year doesn\u2019t have to be this way.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have to live up to the idealized perfect Christmas and the giving the perfect gift\u2026\u00a0 I don\u2019t have to do this to myself every year.\u00a0 \u00a0Although I love the spirit of Christmas: the mood, the decorations, the traditions, the scents and sounds, I don\u2019t love the expectation of gifts.<\/p>\n<p>But I could try a simpler version of Christmas this year.\u00a0 Instead of the emphasis being on giving presents, I could just enjoy being with the people I love and the season itself and not worry so much about the gifts.<\/p>\n<p>That would be the perfect Christmas present to myself after all, wouldn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>Or I could just give everyone a copy of <strong><em>It Happened One Christmas<\/em><\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>What would be the perfect Christmas for you?
