that you took such care in wrapping their gift. Have fun with it and be creative. Remember, giftwrap doesn’t have to come from the store. Try using the comics section of the Sunday paper, the daily newspaper, brown craft paper, or grocery bags. Give yourself bonus points for presenting your gift in a reusable shopping bag!
Bonus: Write a Love Letter…to yourself. Take time to sit in the quiet of all the decorating, shopping, baking, and whatever to write a letter acknowledging what this year has meant to you. You may write several notes to people in your life who have impacted you and tell them what they mean to you. A gift is a sweet gesture and we like to receive them. A letter is a gift from the heart and something the recipient will treasure. Bonus idea would be to deliver the letter in person and spend time together.
You will both benefit in body and spirit. A gift of time with you is priceless.
There’s still time to make this a wonderful time of the year. Ransom the joy of the season back and unleash the
magic of what your creativity can produce. What tradition will you enhance with your unique twist this year? Care to share?
