THE FUSE

The holiday season of Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa can be filled with a lot of tasks: planning family gatherings, attending social obligations, confirming travel reservations, and, of course, the expectation of purchasing and receiving gifts. While it is true that a gift can serve as an expression of love, many times it is bought in haste, along with so many other items on the checklist. This can then be felt as less meaningful to the partner who is the receiver, and does very little to provide emotional, romantic, and erotic growth to the relationship.
