Just a hug can be a gift
The shopping fever and excitement of Christmas is every where and felt by every one. Even the non-Christians, feel the heat of the contagious anxiousness from their believing neighbors. The children have familiar phrases for such festive seasons, “what will daddy/mummy buy for me? Will I have a gift from father Christmas?” as long as it is connected to a new thing for Christmas.
Sometimes a hug is all that we need.
