Christmas Gifts

I admit that gift giving is not a strength of mine. Not because I do not care about people, but it seems people have so much stuff. I don’t want to be responsible for adding to the chaos. Receiving gifts embarrasses me, more than it brings me joy, especially at Christmas. On some occasions I have purchased a gift that is really meaningful to someone and vice versa, but I truly believe the greatest gift a person can give is their time. Being present in another’s life has much more value than a material item with a limited lifespan. So this Christmas, consider ways you can build relationships with the family and friends in your life, and give the joy of togetherness this year.
