Re-gifting - what would Jesus do?

What do you do when given a Christmas present you don’t want or need? ’Do what Jesus would do’, says Shakira Peronet, ’and tell the truth in love’. But is it easier said than done?

As Christmas quickly approaches us, I have a question - how many of us have made it clear to friends and family about what we would really like to receive? (Or what we wouldn’t like to receive?) Perhaps we don’t want anything at all, do those around you know that?

Many of us don’t make our needs and wants clear. It feels too bold or even rude and so we end up with gifts that we would rather not keep, and then we are left with a dilemma. Do we ask for the receipt? Do we resell? Or do we regift?
