Christmas Presents

I find myself frustrated trying to give the perfect present for Christmas. I do not know why is it so hard to find something that my family and friends would like. I am always looking to give something meaningful but at the same time is useful. This time of the year is supposed to be a time where I can be relaxed and I do not have to worry about anything. But it turns out I am far from being relaxed and definitely I am worried about Christmas presents. I guess I will have to give the “classic” (basic) presents which are: cookies, chocolates, and socks.
