It’s the week before Christmas, and this is the time when many people are concentrated on gifts: either buying them for people or looking forward to getting them. Gifts are usually good (at least, we hope so). We might say that someone has a gift for languages or public speaking. Or anything, really. Of course,…

In North America, at least, December is often a crazy time of year. Christmas and New Year’s dominate the month and there are all kinds of holiday celebrations and end of year events. There can be pressure to layer on traditions, so that there is a lot to plan for. Each tradition and event has…
