     We usually remember what we have recieved on our birthday or Christmas day. We don't recieve presents or gifts without reasons. When we give or recieve a present, we always have some reasons to do so. In my country, we usually recieve presents on Christmas or our birthday. Children in my country recieve a present from their parents on Christmas day, though some of them believe that they recieve it from Santa. The cost of the present doesn't matter so much. If you think that an expensive present is more valuable, that might be wrong to some extent.
     When I was a child, I and my younger brother recieved presents on Christmas day. We believed that we recieve presents from Santa. To recieve a present on Christmas day was great pleasure for us. When we got up in the Christmas' morning, we could find a present behind our heads. That was surely gerat pleasure for us. But I don't remember what I recieved at all.
     On the other hand, when I was a high schol student, we had once a Christmas party in our class. I went to a high school where only boys could attend. In our school, we had one English speaking class every week. In the class, we pracitced English conversation with one foreign teacher. Once he said that he wanted to have a Christmas party, and he asked us to bring one present to exchange it each other. He added that we must buy the present within 5 dollars.
     You can easily expect that how difficult it is to find a present within only 5 dollars. I and my friends were very confused but decided that we don't tell what we will buy until the day. I and one of my friends went to Loft, a famous party goods shop in my country. I bought some entertaining goods at the shop, and my friend also did so.
     On the Christmas day, we exchanged our gifts. What I recieved was a banana. I was very surprised. And one of my friends received a panty for women. All of our classmates laughed and enjoyed unexpected presents. The presents had no pratical values, but we could enjoy the day to the full. When we choose a present, I think we must think the situation carefully. If we carefully choose the present, I believe the present can be rememberd by the person who recieve it.
