Esseence of Christmas

As the Christmas time is coming, many people are shopping everyday. I noticed that there are seniors who are buying gifts for the kids that they didn't know. They are the secret Santas. But what bothers me is when I heard someone talking about buying a cheaper shoes because it is just a gift. That doesn't make sense. So what is the purpose of giving gifts when you are putting a price on what you give. If you give, make sure you are sincere with it. Don't say it's just a gift so it's okay if it's cheap. Give something that you can afford not because it's just a gift because no matter if it's just a dollar if you give it heartily, that is the most expensive gift of all.
