C.S. Lewis on Unnecessary Gifts

As Christmas draws closer, C.S. Lewis reminds me of the beauty of unasked-for and "unnecessary" presents:
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather, it is one of those things that gives value to survival.

In case you're wondering, coffee, books and basketball also fall in this category.
