To give you a present or an opportunity, it seems like it's all the same, but opportunities can get you a lot further than the new i-phone... So think about it before you splurge on unnecessary 'niceties'.
1. An opportunity to meet someone new!
Be it a new potential friend or a romantic relationship...doesn't really matter... As long as you don't feel a powerful need for one or the other. A new friend can open you up to a new kind of a world...and new people - who can potentially be your new romantic attachment. Don't force it. Try to be carefree as much as possible. An easy going start is the best one.
2. An opportunity to get closer to your family!
Your family should be something you should always be able to rely on. Maybe in the past it hasn't been like that - due to you or someone in your family. They're going to be the ones that always know you the best, love you the most and treasure you forever. Maybe it's time to try to work through some of your issues and have a peaceful Holiday season?
3. A potential business opportunity!
Something happens and suddenly you've got a new job! Wouldn't that be awesome?! Good pay, good work environment, nice coworkers... Stable life. What more could you ask for?
4. Winning the lottery!
Yeah...obviously... Money doesn't bring you everything...but it sure solves a lot of problems. Probably brings some baggage with it too... There's never only good or only bad in any situation.
Whatever gift you may receive, be grateful. And don't forget to recognize the gifts that aren't so materialistically apparent. Sometimes life will surprise you!
Yes Nick, the power ball would be great and a new interning opportunity that pays, has great hands on experience, amazing staff, and prestige would be awesome.
I tend to view st. Nicholas as a spirit/angel/ghost that represents the spirit of Christmas, kind of like the ghost of Christmas present in a Christmas carol
