When does a gift given become a gift received? If a gift is not accepted, is it a gift indeed? If a gift is left unopened is the gifting actually achieved? (Is a gift not a gift if it is rejected? Does it lose its giftedness when refused or neglected?) Does the gift itself retain some kinetic gifted energy? Or does it need the active catalyst of reception to truly be the gift that its giver intends it to be? This Christmas be sure to accept your full responsibility to receive with a fully open heart as well as open hands this gift I give to you from me. (I've left the receipt in the bag.)

Gifting can be complicated.
