It is wonderful that the season of giving is here again. Christmas holiday not only gives us time to reflect, and time to rest, it also gives us excuses to splurge a bit on ourselves, to surprise our loved ones on a lazy Christmas morning, and to make a long past due donation to a favorite charity. Luckily there are so many ways to show our love and appreciation for others. There are gifts in different shapes, size and uses. In lieu of tangible things, gifts can be in the form of promises such as offering elderly neighbors to shove the snow on their property. After all it is the gesture of giving that counts. Therefore, gifts in any shapes and forms are welcome in this festival season of the year.
However, we must never give live animals as Christmas presents. Owing a pet is a privilege that entails a lot of responsibilities that many of us are unable to commit to. Sometimes parents gave in to their children and let them have a four-legged pet they should not have. This is why there are so many precious former pets languishing in many animal shelters. We certainly do not want to add more to the abandoned pet population. So please think twice before deciding to give a live animal to your loved ones. - Ayee
