Gift giving! One of the emotional hot-spots in any relationship. Why? Probably mental baggage from childhood disappointments.

I remember once as an eight-year-old, having the biggest package under the tree. Man, was I ever proud and happy about that! The anticipation was killer. By the time Christmas morning finally arrived, I was beside myself with excitement. You know what it was? A pillow.

I'm sure if you think back, you'll remember being disappointed more often than not with gifts received over the years. But now you're a big mature grownup, so it's time to leave the old hurts from childhood behind, right?

Our relationship advice to you now is twofold: learn to be a gracious gift-receiver, and a fantastic gift-giver!
