the gift exchange


I'm working as a facilitator this afternoon then going to a Missionary Society Christmas party at church. They are having a $10 gift exchange after the dinner. I bought a Hallmark ornament, the one called Season's Treatings, a miniature muffin tin with six mouse size decorated muffins on top.
 I always feel strange at a gift exchange, thinking that what I am bringing is not good enough, or maybe I'll get stuck with a horrible gift not worth dragging home. I could have avoided the whole party and stayed home tonight but I'm a grownup now and I can deal with this.
Dear Jesus,
Help me to remember that Christmas is all about celebrating Your birth and not stressing out about exchanging $10 tree ornaments.
