PROMPT: November 29th - Write about gifting! What’s on your list? What do you have your eye on for yourself and what do you want to gift to your family and friends? Homemade or store bought? What was the best gift you ever received?

I no longer celebrate Christmas. Sometimes I celebrate my birthday, which is December 24. I celebrate Ayyám-i-Há. which in 2020 is between sunset on February 25 and sunset on February 29. Right now I have no idea how I will celebrate that occasion. I will decided that as February 2020 draws closer.

I will be 73 years old on December 24. I don't need a lot of stuff, so the only things that might be on my gift list is clothes and/or money. I know that many people don't think money is an appropriate gift; however, if you don't know the individual's size or taste in clothing or anything else, money is an appropriate gift.
