We've all heard the saying, "It's better to give than to receive". That is especially true when you find the perfect gift for someone - that gift that you just know they are going to love! It's so perfect that you can't wait to give it. That's when it feels really, really good to give. Sometimes, however, you fluke it and end up giving someone the perfect gift without realizing that it is the perfect gift when you buy it. One Christmas I bought two of my little nephews a farm set. It had the barn, tractors, animals - everything you would need to run a farm. I thought they would like it, but it turned out they loved it! They screamed with delight when they opened it and they played for hours with it. They kept telling me that it was "the most perfect-est gift ever"! Another Christmas, my then two-year old son received a Smurf train set from his aunt. He loved that train so much we could not get him to open his other gifts. Whenever we gave him another gift to open, he would push it out of his way and continued playing with his train set. To the giver, those "perfect gift" moments are priceless. Finding - and giving - the most "perfect-est" gift . . . it's a good thing!
