Dear Dáithí: My brother thinks his presence is our real present every Christmas

Dear Dáithí: My brother thinks his presence is our real present every Christmas

Dear Dáithí: "I don't mind not getting a present from him but when I see all the gifts my mum and dad have been getting for my brother it annoys me to see him bring them nothing. He'll just shrug and remind us that his flights were expensive, and he didn't have much room in his luggage."

Dear Dáithí,

There’s a very important annual celebration coming up. You know this story... there’s a long journey and some hardship along the way but it’s really all about one very important person who has praise heaped on them and has wondrous gifts presented to them.
