The word, present, means to be in a certain place. For example, a student may be marked as present by a teacher, who marks the presence or absence of each student in the class.
As a verb, present (emphasis on the second syllable,) means to put something in a certain place. Perhaps someone might present a gift to another person.
And the thing that was presented would be considered a present.
During the holiday season we present a lot of presents to people.
I don't know about you, but my favorite part of the holiday isn't the presents I get, but the presence of people I love. And it makes me happy when they appreciate the presents I present to them.
Of course at this time of the year Christians celebrate that we were presented with the present of the presence of God. Now that's something to appreciate.
