Why I Love... Being a Book Santa

There are several reasons I like to give books for the holidays. The reasons are, in no certain order:

• Easy to find in stores and online
• Offer many options
• Easy to wrap
• Easy to transport or ship
• May be enjoyed by the recipient at their leisure
• Can be constantly regifted with love

Mostly, I love giving books because they are a gift of an idea. When you share a book, you share an adventure, a lesson, or simply a literary hug. Books are more than an tangible object you can wrap. Books say that you know and appreciate the receiver because you've taken the time to consider what they like to read.

I say, give more books! They go well with chocolate!
