That was a cool question, because it made me think all over again about this year's presents. And I ended up realising that the presents that made me beam the most, really, were ones that I had given others. I got some nice incoming stuff, but in at least a few cases I really hit the mark on what I gave, and it made me smile all over again about it.
Best of all was one for my partner. She had asked for a new tree-topper . . . and I had hunted around and found nothing that I liked, or that I thought she would like. Lots of cheap tacky stuff. I did find some nice star-shaped ornaments, and I was staring blankly at a little wire-frame abstract tree shape, and suddenly realised -- I could
make us a star for the tree instead. And I did, and she loved it.
