十二月常常被称作 holiday season, 因为这里有 Christmas Eve 平安夜, Christmas Day 圣诞节, Boxing Day 节礼日, New Year countdown 新年倒计时等。今年的holiday season注定是不平常的，很多人在这个不同寻常的日子里，不仅会收到physical /material gifts, 也会收到non-material gifts.
我今天收到了朋友送的长长的礼单，便迫不及待地发在这里和朋友们分享。A bit of a lengthy read ... but I wanted to share this with you given the uncertain times right now!!
"No sales. No special deals. Just gifts that you can give any time, and to almost anyone." 这些礼物没有特价，也没有优惠， 但你可以随时送给几乎每一个人。
