Why Giving Gifts Is Way Better Than Getting Them

Because we're all grown-up now. It used to be all about waking up at the crack of dawn to see what we had waiting for us under the tree. But now, it's kinda nice to be the one giving the gifts for once. Brought to you by Verizon.

1. Remember trying to fall asleep while we waited for Santa to drop off our presents?

2. Seriously, who could sleep with all those gifts just waiting to be opened?!

3. Of course, once the morning finally came, no one was allowed to open anything until the parents were up.

4. Then we'd spend the morning tearing through mountains of wrapping paper, reveling in our good fortune!

5. But now that we're all grown-up, things are a little different.

6. Sure, we all still want to get something for the holidays.

7. But it's just kind of nice to show someone how much they mean to you.

8. It's always fun finding something you just know your friend or family member will LOVE.

9. You're just SO excited about this perfect gift, but you know you can't spill the beans!

10. Then the day finally comes when you get to give your gift.

11. And they absolutely love it.

12. Being able to show someone that you care is pretty much the best thing ever.

13. That's what the holidays are all about.
