As a child you tend to ask for the most popular toy for Christmas.
In most homes the excitement of the Season builds for weeks and seeing the kids faces on Christmas afternoon is really the easily best feeling.
As you get older you may wish for bigger gifts and have no concept of the sacrifices your parents go through to try and get them for you. Once you are an adult your visions of the ideal Christmas present change dramatically. I guess that when I was in my early twenties and trying to make ends meet I would have rather had someone pay a bill for myself and others instead of giving myself and others a jacket or something that I really didn’t need, but there are many young and ancient people that really assume the same way. Most of us don’t really need more “stuff”, however they may need help paying the yearly bills or other financial obligations. This may seem appreciate an odd Christmas gift however wouldn’t you rather pay to have someone’s heat left on for another month and making sure that they are comfortable and safe? Easing the financial burden for someone you appreciate may be the best way to say how much you care for them, however your parents, Grandparents or even a close friend may be too proud to ask for this assistance however in many cases you can get an idea of their need if you pay attention to their lifestyle. You can even make an anonymous payment in many cases if you don’t want them to guess that you are aware of their situation.
