Put Away Your Credit Cards and Give Something of Value This Christmas!

What is the spirit of Christmas?  It's in GIVING isn't it? 

While we have been so adept at giving so much of the useless, we have become stingier and stingier with the important stuff:  our time, our efforts, our involvement.

Who needs another sweater?  Who needs another trinket?  Why not do something special and new this year?  Why not really put some thought into this year's Christmas gift giving? 

I know that while my 95 year old grandmother appreciates any material gift I give her, she would trade it all in for another day spent with me.  Taking her for a walk in her wheelchair, asking her specific questions that jot her memory about her youth, brushing her hair, listening to yet another CD of Romanian folk songs while I dance for her, now THAT would make my grandmother much happier than any jewelry or clothes I could buy her.  That's just what I'm going to give her for Christmas this year.

My sister will love the picture I found going through my old albums.  I am personalizing the frame to accentuate the mood of the picture.  She will love it!  It's a very special moment in her life and it will put a smile on her face every time she looks at it. 

There are so many meaningful gifts we can give our loved ones.  Gifts that say:  you are so important to me!  Look at how much thought I put into this!  Instead of mindlessly picking up a gift at the mall, look at what I've created for you!

From baking a loaf of fresh bread, to framing a picture, or reading someone a book.  This year, show that you really care:  put away your credit cards and give this gift giving business a deep thought!

Let's put our heads together and come up with some real winners!   If you've created something special for your loved one, please share it with us!  Let's make this an exchange of wonderful ideas for meaningful gifts!
