how to feel

"its better to give then it is to receive"
this saying is true in many ways, but i also believe it is somewhat misleading. If you give amazing gifts to other people, gifts that you put hours of effort into, and in return, you get some not so hot gifts, it doesnt feel good. you wish that your gift giver would have put more effort into his or her gift. I believe that this feeling is felt often, and isnt so awful to feel. everyone wants to feeel excited on christmas, and when you arent necisarilly wowed, it doest feel good. but you just have to tell myself, its the thought that counts. which i believe is comletely true. so in sense, it is okay to be disipointed  and want fmore for christmas,because its humans' nature to want. but just remember to remember that it s the thought that counts.
