In the countdown to a major gift-giving season, I liked this ancient reference to a human presents. May you give and receive gifts in a spirit of open-hearted affection, bringing real pleasure all round.Â
And if you celebrate it, have a wonderful Christmas, enjoying the presence of those you love.Â
‘Men will send gifts over the seas where gannets swoop and rise.’
