Gifts, gifts, gifts!

Two posts ago, I was convinced that the best gift I'd ever gotten was a remote control airplane. Now I am not so sure.

I was gardening in the warm sun this evening, after work. There is a lovely, great rosemary bush in a container on our patio. The scent of it reminds me of my Italian heritage. As I glanced up at it, I remember it was my Christmas gift from Heather two Christmases ago. And it is tied for top place.

Again, it was totally unexpected and yet perfect. But the presentation made it all the better, sitting outside dusted in snow, with a big Christmas ribbon. Instead of unwrapping it, Heather had me go look out the dining room window.

For me, the moral of the story is that gifts are more special when there are fewer of them. We only give each other a gift or two on any occasion. Not sure that logic will work for your kids on Christmas morning! But it might work for the two of you.

Happy Couples, Happy Planet!
