It has been my practice to buy Christmas presents for my staff, close colleagues and friends – in appreciation of their support, friendship and contribution.
In the earlier years, I would make my own little gift tags/cards to go with the presents. Over the years, I became lazy – I would just buy the Christmas cards, but I still put in effort in writing meaningful message to every individual, then the message became simpler, after a while the Christmas cards became just simple gift tags, and the message became “Merry Christmas” to everybody. At times, I even used post-it note instead of a proper gift tag.
I know how much it means when a person receives a card with personalized message written on it, as I am also one of the recipients of Christmas gifts. Everytime when I receive such “special” cards, I felt very touched and I would read the message again and again.
So for this year, I decided to start early, not just in buying Christmas cards, but in putting some thoughts into what I want to write on the cards.
I promised myself that I would get my Christmas presents and Christmas cards ready as early as possible, so the next thing that I will do is to draw up a list of people whom I plan to buy presents for!
