Happy Holidays!
I really love this time of the year. It's busy, loud and somewhat overstimulating if you participate in the normal traditions that people are accustomed to. I'm starting a new tradition for the winter holidays and that's just taking more time out for myself to decompress rather than following the crowd of getting all reved up.
I love giving gifts as much as anyone, however, I think we can all agree that everyone would rather not get a gift that has no relevance to them. How would you feel if you knew how many of the gifts you gave were re-gifted or returned due to the fact that the gift had nothing to do with the person who received it? Sometimes giving kind words are more appropriate than going out and spending so much time and money on such gifts for others. I often wonder when having meaningful conversations went out of style. I think that's one of the only things I'm missing in life! So rather than going out and giving a gift to a person you know very little about, why not just give them a call or meet them for a lunch date and have a meaningful talk about what's most important to each of you. I guarantee that you will find the real meaning that your looking for!
Cheers!
