The Gift of Receiving

Christmas is all about the gifts: The gift of love, whether earthly, or above; The physical gifts of joy---a muffler or a toy; The gift of laughing cheer with someone you hold dear; The gift of receiving, if you're worthy and undeceiving. Christmas is all about the gifts: Givers without receivers would cancel giving, too; Receiving is a virtue, so be glad when you do; When you get what you want, don't sham a shame and wilt; Feel no dishonest guilt, take Christmas to the hilt.
