Gifts are one of the best ways to say "I love you" to the people we cherish. And the best time to do it, outside of special events in life, are the Christmas and New Year's feasts. They combine the feeling of old things ending and the excitement of new ones approaching, the atmosphere of being closer to the people we love, of childhood memories of wondering what was in the boxes under the holiday tree.
The Christmas and New Year's celebrations in 2020 will be as never before. Unlike other years, this December we will forget about the ease with which we planned trips, meetings with friends, parties and family gatherings. But this should not discourage us. The Covid-19 pandemic stimulated us to reconsider our life and priorities and to realise how important for us were our loved ones, families and friends. The global cataclysm reminded us to concentrate on the small things in life and to cherish them.
