My love for Christmas.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>It’s big. There is room for everyone: parents, relatives, friends, grandchildren acquired, acquaintances …<\/span>
\n<\/span>It’s small. It doesn’t want demonstrations of \u00a0sensational affection but it’s felt with familiar simple acts that, believe me, can surprise if they come from those we love the most.<\/span>
\n<\/span>It<\/span>\u2019<\/span>s attention. I speak of the attention that turns into caring for others. Pleased to receive a message for no particular reason. Called a friend, although we are always on call, because that’s not what matters but how we feel at the end of that phone call.<\/span>
\n<\/span>It’s free. It doesn’t necessarily expect something in return. It’s its specialty to show that you can try more satisfaction to give gifts than to receive.<\/span>
\n<\/span>It’s a gift. Whether donated time or material object, its secret lies in that expectation, in thought devoted to another that generates a gift to put under the tree.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Thus it was born the desire to deliver a short list of books.<\/span>
\n<\/span>This week it’s time for romantic friends. With approximately EUR 10.00 you can pack up a story that smells of love.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n
