Christmas Gifts
By Money Sick | December 27, 2007
The Mother Loves All Children
Finally time to write here at Money Sick. It was not forgotten, as usual. I was busy rushing for my Christmas Inspiration and spreading my joy of Christmas on Christmas Eve, so that the less fortunate people can get to enjoy the Spirit of Christmas.
Later Please
Some people had mentioned about Viral Linking and I have no time to post on that yet. I must say sorry for that, but I know that and it is in my ‘brain list’. My higher priority post always come first.
Funny Joke
Christmas is over now. On Christmas Day, we had gathering at my brother’s place. It is the greatest joke, and something people who despised for the kind of gifts that I gave. Father said no need to buy expensive gifts. But who is going to believe that? If you go empty handed, you must be crazy and the odd one out. I planned to buy some gifts at the Catholic shop but was closed on Sunday. That day, the children suggested making water babies. I thought that was a way too. It was such a brilliant idea. In the end, the children and me had a good time making gifts. These were meaningful. We used empty bottles and after the water babies were ‘matured’, we put them into the bottles. After that, we painted the cover and put glitters on them.
The Ugliest Gifts Ever
I put all the water babies into paper bags. They were my paper bags collections. These paper bags were red in colour, with the words “Mei Zhen Xiang” 美真香 written on it. Mei Zhen Xiang is famous for its ‘Bak Gua’ and it was very misleading. Everybody thought I was so generous this time. Only my brother knew that I was not so generous. It must be fake ‘Bak Gua’肉干(barbeque meat). I wanted to wrap the water babies at first, but it was too time-consuming. Afterall, everybody is going to throw away the gift-wrappers, and I gave up the idea. I just stapled up the paper bags, with my gifts — water babies, greeting card and ‘the perfect gift’ in it.
These are bottles collected, each time I finished eating pickles. This is the brand that has the best pickles.
These are water babies which are done by Ricsson, Clara and Me. The details of the Making will be posted later at Arts Inspiration.
Greeting Card, left overs from my Greeting Cards Box. Used to send many Christmas Cards and Happy New Year Cards to all my clients and prospects. Now I still have so many stocks left.
This is the Perfect Christmas Gift, God’s words. God’s words are precious. They are words that will give you spiritual truths that leads to ultimate happiness and bliss. This is the book which were received on the day we attend Mass at St Anthony Church. It must be fate. Fate that the shop was closed and again the children suggested giving these instead. They said ‘Save money! Don’t need to buy!’
Everybody Judge By Appearance
My headache got worse towards the evening. My menses must be coming soon. We were asked to choose the Christmas Gifts before we left the place. Nobody wants to take my “Mei Zhen Xiang Bak Gua” 美真香肉干(barbeque meat). The rest of the people have such beautiful gifts wrapped with nice wrappers. My children chosed the gifts. I showed my sister what I made, from my camera. In the end, she was ‘scared’ even. Nobody wants to take our Christmas present : )))! It is really such a joke. They must be wondering how stingy I am and how perhaps I am making fun of them. But this is not, I can afford to buy ‘lousy’ gifts from the Dollar Value shop ($1.99 shop) and can wrap the gifts up with my own wrappers. I have so many wrappers at home, but I did not want to do that. Laugh, joke, whatever, I think it is meaningful and it is up to them to receive the perfect gift. Not all will want to read the book. Perhaps they would end up in the rubbish bin!
Thoughts and Meaning Behind
But the main thing is not the gift in this gathering. I just want to meet all the people in the family. It is a rare chance where everybody get to meet up. However, I did not get to see my brother, big brother. As usual, he is busy making money. Christmas season, more people taking taxi. This is how same people, same race, but different sex, different life and different amount of money everybody have.
