Present-ation

End November is the beginning of the festive season. Here in the Gulf, Eid holidays and then again, Christmas.
The one aspect that unites different festivals for me is gift giving. Much more than the revelry, the food and the pious gaiety, it is the sheer joy that comes with the giving and receiving of presents that floats my boat down the river of life that without fail, gushes through these festivals year after year.
Some people go to the Himalayas to experience sublime bliss. Me, I just wait for someone to give me a gift. Bring it on.
