Gift-giving used to be a tradition in our school. There was a colleague - a few years older than I am - who used to make gifts for every other teacher for Christmas and for Easter. When she retired, I took over. When I retired, no-one picked up the tradition; not their fault, though. Working conditions have been worsened in the education business a great deal since then. People are struggling to survive.

Said colleague is also a member of the choir, and now we are making gifts for our fellow choir members. :)
