That's the question nearly'every chlld asks him- self, ai Ms birthday party. Watch hlm pick Up the wrapped gift an d* try to guess what it is. He or she shakes it, feelslit, and sizes ýup ail the favourite things they's like to have, making it fit under the wrappings. Even brides do the, same thing at show- ers, or ,couples do it with wedding gifts (or later, at nilvrsarles). We *ail guess what's under- the 'wrappings ai Christmas or Hanukkah. In 1978, Canadians spent $100. million on' gifi wrappings. Even if that included more tHian the paper - the string, rlbbons, bows and stickers as weil, how much did the gifts cost that the wrappings covered? That figure of gifts and wrappings would easily balance our National debt for 19821 Cana- dians spent $13 billion on Christmas in 1981! ýGifta are important for us to give. They are an ex- tension of our love to'other people. Advertising ten7- ds to urge us to prove our love by the price of the gift we make to our husband, wife, business partners, children, clients, employers and friends. Most of us know the need for restraint in purchasing gifts, but, on we go buyinîg things for others 'on'time'. Food, fuel'and personal wrappings (clothing) may be sacrlficed as we pay for credit buying. Arnong God's gifis came the gifi of His Son in the wrapplng of a baby. Christmas means God bas made the gift of Jesus for ail mankind. The "wrapp- ings" of Jesus .were more *than 'swaddling clothes'. They included thé manger. or feeding staîl in place of a rocking cradleor w ater bed. Mary and Joseph, had no O.H.I.P. or Blue Cross coverage at Jesus' birth.

Dmp in and fýU lui whef vou want - We give gifts to children and often they are to make ùp for the lack of lime we spend, with the child. Men who are caught. up in -professions, the business world and on shift work don't spend enough time with their sons and daughters (or wife!1). Time, is a glfi we can ail make. To buy an expensive gifi is not a demonstration of love when that youngster- needs to have you read to them, play games,- be a Beaver, Cub or Scout leader, ask questions, go out together. How soon our timeý is used up, and we have become strangers to our children. Special adas can express love, -and will be more appreciated than costly gifts. For instance, putting clo thing on. hangers, or ln the clothes' hamper demonstrate consideration to a wife or mother. Cleanlng y our< room, washing dishes, making.your bed, putting out the garbage, clearing away the mess after your gang's party are aHl gifla of love.. When we 'Show, our love by listening to another person they sense our caring. Gifts say, ",1 remem- ber you", but Ithey'may become bribes that are cheaper than hearing another person share their' worries and cares. God's greatest gift was personal. Jesus showed us God's love by His sacrifice on the cross. Most of us won't have to die ln order to prove our love for others. We could learn from Jesus Christ, how to give gifla, and what the gifla should be. He healed the sick. We can visit friends in hospital. Hie showed an interest ln ordinary people. We've no 'need to play Up to wealthy or influential people either. He spent time with His friends wýho often let Hlm down. We can practice forglveness. too. He spent time in prayer. We can pray for others also. Much of Our living can have fancy wrappings. Eventually the 'covering' comes off, our clothing, -our mice words, our phoney smlles, and any of us can be exposed for what we are.- The real'gift we owe other people is a self that la available in true friendship. We should need no wrapping to disguise
