			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What kinds of gifts did you give to your loved ones?</p>
<p>What kinds of gifts did you receive from them?</p>
<p>Gift-giving is a Christmas tradition that will always be there, no matter how people are, in terms of their <a href="http://greenbucks.info/2008/09/19/hard-times/" target="_blank">economic standing</a> because there are a lot of those who have <a href="http://greenbucks.info/2008/11/14/employment-woes/" target="_blank">lost their source of income</a> and who are grappling to see <a href="http://greenbucks.info/2008/10/23/may-liwanag-nga-ba/" target="_blank">the end of these challenges</a>.</p>
<p>One of the most sought-after gifts for the last few years are tech gadgets and gizmos.</p>
<p>There are also those who go the old-fashion way of giving baked goodies like what we did to some of our relatives.</p>
<p>There are those who feel obligated to give <a href="http://greenbucks.teacherjulie.com/2008/10/28/consumerism-among-kids/" target="_blank">expensive gifts especially to their children</a> because these children seem to charm their way into having  their parents part with their hard-earned money.</p>
<p>There are those who got the surprise of their lives as they got <a href="http://www.whiteflash.com/Engagement-Rings/1.htm" target="_blank">engagement rings</a> and would start planning the big day after the holidays.</p>
<p>What about those who got new cars or even new homes? Wow, definitely wow.</p>
<p>But have we thought about those who don&#8217;t get any gifts given out of love? They did have some but these were given out of pity. <a href="http://greenbucks.teacherjulie.com/2008/12/30/how-did-they-celebrate-christmas/" target="_blank">How did they celebrate their Christmas</a>?</p>
