What does your favorite Christmas gift say about you?

-
Time goes on in our lives and we progress from screaming with glee over opening an Easy Bake Oven Set, a Barbie, a toy gun or a video game, to other things. Decades beyond childhood, the Keurig and a Tempur-Pedic pillow are my two favorite Christmas gifts. 

I got to thinking about what this says about me.

At this stage of my life I value comfort over play.

I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not but it's just reality at this moment. I read a blog post by Michael Hyatt this week that really challenged me to embrace discomfort.  It's the last thing I wanted to hear. I've been in an uncomfortable place for quite some time trying desperately to grab on to any bit of comfort that I could find and still retain ministerial credentials. ;P I'm only half kidding there.  I have hope for 2012. Even if just a little bit on some days, I still have hope and on the days it's low, a few friends give me some that they have to spare. Lucky for me, I have some friends who are quite literally hope dealers.

I'm digressing.  Sorry.

I've always been into practical when it comes to Christmas gifts: books, clothes, my red toolbox filled with Craftsman screwdrivers, food, warm slippers and so forth. Yes, I had my fair share of games and toys, but over the years gamepieces got lost, I outgrew toys, and no one wanted to play Scrabble and Uno. As an adult, I still have the same tastes - books and clothes. My favorite gifts are the ones that I give to others; the "gifts" I receive (from this) are priceless and unmatched by anything in the physical realm.
