During the Christmas season, friends who give and receive gifts can be seen everywhere, and various company stores also sell advertisements, attracting customers to buy things, and then helping customers wrap the gifts to become a gift. Picking a gift is never easy, the most fearful thing is to give the other party something that is not needed. To give a gift that makes the other party happy and satisfied, Mamma Saga has a way.

Once, on Grandma Saga's birthday, the author asked her what kind of present she wanted. Grandma didn't say what material she wanted. Instead, she asked the author "gift? Would you like to help me?" This "help" is to help grandma clean. accepted. Grandma does the cleaning work at the school, which is done before the students arrive at the school, so start work before dawn. The author helped grandma to clean the toilet and classroom. Seeing grandma's smile, the author felt that it was better than any gift. Both of them left happy and unforgettable memories.

Grandma Saga taught everyone that gifts are not limited to material things, but can come in various forms. If you give it right, both the person who gave it and the person who received it will have fond memories. During the Christmas and New Year period, you can invite good friends who haven't seen each other for a while to have a meal, and talk about their respective experiences in the past year. Friends with children may wish to help them take care of the children and let them relax. I remember one time, when I visited a friend's house, my mother was busy, and my father was alone with two pairs of little monsters. I helped him cook, so he didn't have to run around alone.

The most important thing behind gifts is "people", including family, friends, and partners. Instead of going to the store and looking at things, think about how you can send a "gift" that will warm your friends' hearts, which can be material or non-material. If you don't know what the other party needs, don't imitate the author. If you ask straight, maybe you haven't thought about what the other party needs. This can not only deepen the understanding, but also give the right gift, and not be afraid of buying an unsuitable gift. Both parties can leave good memories and kill four birds with one stone.
