Giving More
Than Presents for Your Family
While your family may appreciate the
prettily wrapped presents tied with ribbons and they may really enjoy tearing
them open, there are many other gifts that you can give your family this
holiday. Gift them with your time. Gift them with your focus. Gift them with
your actions.
Give more than
just more presents to your family. Gift them with a new tradition that brings
laughter, togetherness, and happiness. Find an activity that your entire family
enjoys and carve out time in your busy schedule to do it. Maybe it is a
fun-filled afternoon of ice skating or taking a nature hike. Or, it could be a
10-minute daily reading from a beloved story book. Maybe it is everyone making
sure they are all home, with no distractions (i.e. cell phones, etc.) to enjoy
a home-cooked dinner with just each other.
Whatever your
family decides to do, make a commitment to giving more than presents to your
family. Share the gift of togetherness and lasting memories.
