Christmas Creative Nonfiction Happy

My story is entitled Helen Mclead the young lady often likes giving gifts as much as receiving them.


Once upon a time there lived a young lady by name Helen Mclead who loves giving gifts as much as receiving them.

There are plenty of gift occasions as observed through out the year mentioned Helen Mclead. She is noted to be very beautiful ,black in complexion and about seven feet tall. She often likes giving gifts to the orphanage during Christmas due to this others nickname her the Lady father Christmas as she can be seen during the Christmas celebration. Also Helen Mclead likes giving gifts to hospitals and also the widows of our society due to this she is also named as an Ambassador of Gift giving.

Again she also gives toys and other Christmas items to little children so she is known mostly to the kids as the Lady Father Christmas always dressed in her Father Christmas costume sometimes with masqueraders during Christmas festivities.


Amongst some of the gift occasions observed through out the year includes Valentines day, Mother's day , Father's day or even Christmas.

As noted and observed Whoever said money can't buy happiness obviously was not spending money in the right places and is a liar. Again squandering your cash in an attempt to fill a deep seated emotional void with more material stuff probably isn't the key to long-term happiness in life.

Also spending money on others is a gift not only to the recepient but also to you as the person doing the giving.

As usual , Helen Mclead often than not engages in an act of generosity which is scientifically proven to make us happier in life.


Also it can be observed that there is a look of surprise or gratitude on someones face when they are presented with a thoughtful gift.

There is an anecdotal evidence that sharing is in fact caring and also giving gifts can then make us all happier.

There is science behind generosity. Humans are fundamentally social and community minded in life. Almost everyone eats together and works together everyday in life.Humanity is inherently generous. It is noted that generosity is part of the reason our species continues to grow and thrive within a particular community.Also it is observed that Giving produces endorphins and endorphins makes us happy at all times.


Some Neurologist suggest that our brains are wired to always derive pleasure from giving.We always feel a greater sense of happiness when we spend the money on ourselves in life.

It is said that the look on the recepients face when they open their gifts provides a psychological lift to other people that releases endorphine into their brains producing the same euphoric feelings of pleasure and joy we can experience after a tough workout session at the gym.

Almost every gift or a good present can help maintain and even improve relationships.

A gift can strengthen and develop your connection with another person . The act of giving is the donation contribution ,offering, benefaction, endowment, bounty, boom aims, gratuity, premium allowance, subsidy bequests, legacy, inheritance, dowry, aptitude, capability, genius, turn.


Also Helen Mclead mentioned that you must give the best and don't settle for less in life.

As it can be noted whenever Helen Mclead receives a gift,she answers politely. Thank you so much, That is so kind of you, That is so thoughtful of you and It matches me pérfectly.


Again according Helen Mclead receiving gifts means you feel loved from all those small presents that your partner gets you.

Receiving gifts is also materialistic in life.

Also Helen Mclead defines a gift as an item given to someone without the expectation of payment or anything in return. Gift giving might involve an expectation of reciprocity a gift meant to be free.

Helen Mclead mentioned about the economics of giving which is the notion of gift economy.

The gift can refer to any item or act of service that makes one happier or less sad especially as a favour including forgiveness and kindness to one another.

Helen Mclead mentioned that gifts are first and foremost presented during occasions such as parties, birthdays, weddings,graduations and holidays.


In addition Helen Mclead mentioned also that the Feast of Saint Nicholas is the period where people give each other gifts.It is the period where people give each other gifts. It is a season of giving. The true meaning of gift giving isn't extravagance but instead it is sentimentality in life entirely. It is also believed that when you give you will receive. Receiving gifts is something almost everyone enjoys in life. People enjoy giving gifts even more than receiving them within the community.

People argue that, It is better to give than to receive.Helen Mclead also added when we receive a gift we must always show some appreciation.

When you receive a gift always show your appreciation regardless of whether you like the gift or not.


As noted also we often give gifts to re-confirm or establish our connection with others which means that they are a reflection of both the giver and the receiver as well as their unique relationship with each other.

Again giving a gift entirely to someone we care allows us to communicate our feelings and also our appreciation to them within the community at large.


Finally, I will like to conclude that the month of December is the biggest gift giving month of the year around the world. It is also the season of giving which is termed as Christmas marking the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

As according to Helen Mclead there are endless reasons to give gifts through out the year within a particular season. Gifts are normally given during birthdays, weddings, graduations, parties and holidays normally to say thank you for a work well done.

The main purpose of giving gifts is to bring joy to both the giver and the receiver within the community in order to promote goodwill and also make a good relationship.


In conclusion as mostly observed Helen Mclead often than not gives gift during birthday parties, weddings, graduations in order to bring joy and also promote goodwill with a good relationship within the community at large.
