A Christmas Gift, Especially for You

Made your list?  Checked it twice?  Yes, we are on the fast track to Christmas.  Maybe it is just me but somehow time speeds up as Christmas approaches.  Parties, decorating, cooking and the one activity that most of us dread: Christmas shopping.  This is a task with a hard deadline.  Giving to loved ones is wonderful but finding the Perfect Gift gets harder every year.  So what will you give that will delight and carry a unique message that says “I care”?

Tick, tick, tick.  How many hours will you spend braving the crowded malls or online shopping for gifts?  How much will you over spend?  I offer an alternative approach.  Pour yourself a cup of your favourite winter beverage, put on some music and look at your shopping list.  Now take a pen and a beautiful card or luxurious piece of writing paper and create  the perfect gift: a letter from you.

Captured with ink on  paper, the gift  is your handwritten thoughts.  There is something exciting and wonderful knowing that someone took their precious time, collected their thoughts and wrote them down FOR YOU. The value of a hand written letter is precious and rare.

This journal started out with a suggestion for saving time and stress at Christmas but what it really boils down to is this:  we are so focussed on the minutes that we are missing out on the moments.  Create some moments this Christmas: some for yourself as you write a note and some for the loved one who receives it.
