gifts from Aunt Edith, people began to recognize that this was a gift 
they had given her last year. It was hard for me to believe, but 
everybody got from Aunt Edith what they had given her the Christmas 
before. 

After all those years of meticulously regifting those Christmas
presents, it was finally catching up. Nobody knew what to do or say at 
that point. Everybody just thanked Aunt Edith for her wonderful 
Christmas presents. Nobody realized what was happening, but Aunt Edith 
confused the names on the gifts as the "for" and not the "from." 

It wasn't until Aunt Edith's funeral that people began to share their
ideas about Christmas. Someone said, "Did you know that at the last 
Christmas party, I received a gift from Aunt Edith that I gave her the 
year before?" 

When she said that, everybody began to laugh and had the same story to
tell. Aunt Edith had been meticulously regifting all her Christmas 
presents for all those years, and nobody knew it until her last 
Christmas. 

What I took away from it is that if I'm going to give a gift, I should
give a gift I want to receive myself. And I must thank good old Aunt 
Edith for that thinking. 

I couldn't help but think of a Bible verse. "Be not deceived; God is not
mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" 
(Galatians 6:7-8). 

Whatever I do to others will finally come back on me. Give what you want
to receive is my motto.
