Ho-ho-ho! It's only a couple of weeks now before the cakes are bought, the stockings are hung, and the presents change hands. And this week, it's the presents that take center stage!

- (receiving a souvenir from a friend)
Thank you, but you didn't have to get me a gift. - I've tried to teach my children that Christmas is about more than just gift giving.
- “Oseibo” is a year-end gift-giving tradition in Japan.
All the best to you today!
