Memories To Last A LifeTime

What would you do this coming Christmas season if you had no cash to spend and no available credit? Although this situation is one nobody wants to be in, sometimes it happens. An ideal response to this situation is to seek what our hearts yearn for most, without overspending and without venturing into the red. What’s required is an ability to think innovatively and have the courage to put a freeze on the credit cards.

Traditions we have…  Christmas ceremonies resemble anchors in our lives. Doing the same things together, year after year guarantees that even in a fast evolving world, certain things never change. Family hikes, vacations, picnics, and parties are gifts which the entire family can enjoy and remember for some time to come.

Our passions…  Are you thinking of a gift to show how much you care? Find a way to show your loved one you care about what matters to them most. Is he enthusiastic about medical research? Become an organ donor. Is she interested in saving the environment? Give to an association that reforests and plant a tree in her name. Do something this individual holds in regard and do it in their honor. This thought would be a great gift for them.

Our hearts…  Worried your gifts, homemade or otherwise are too cheap or not ideal? The questions will disappear when you compose a short note that you append to each of your gifts. Tell the recipient what he or she means to you and the value they bring to your life.
