‘The Gift’
Sometimes life is like the unwanted present you receive at Christmas. You anxiously wait to rip off the perfectly presented wrapping paper on Christmas morning to reveal the long awaited gift you have been hoping for. Unfortunately more often than not, beneath the white snowflakes and ironically smiling patterns of Santa Clause faces lies a gift that creates a swelling of disappointment that evades your very core. It is not until your relatives have driven the long journey home and only the carcass of the turkey remains that you decide to take another look at the present that offered you so much disappointment. Upon reflection this present can be of more value than you initially realised. This present can become the gift that you come to value the most.
