The old saying “It’s better to give than receive” has the ring of sounding pious, and is one that we hear almost as often as "Merry Christmas" and "Happy Holidays" during this time of year.
Christmastime is here means the whole of my life wraps up into the whole of eternity from the birth of the universe to the end of time in the very moment I am alive.
