On the other hand, one never loses anything by being a day too soon with Christmas presents. It is like making a perfect stroke on the golf field. Happy friendships are worth cementing by timely remembrances and even small sacrifices. True love can neither be bought nor sold, and when bestowed, it is worth the keeping.
