The greatest gift to give to others is your presence. When you think of the holidays, do you look forward to opening boxes, or the time you spend with your loved ones? We live in a consumer-driven world, so it’s easy to think that gifts are the most important part of the holiday season.
Will you remember the scarf that Aunt Suzie gave you, or will you remember her famous cheese ball that she had you help her make each year the night before Christmas? It’s the moments in life that we remember far more than the monetary gifts. Kids grow out of the toys you give them, but they will remember you crawling on to the floor to play with them.
So this holiday season, find ways to give the gift that they really want- your presence. Take time to create memories, for those will outlast any gift you give. Put the phone down, turn the tv off, and spend time listening and sharing. And if you simply must give a gift, then maybe you can make it an experience or something that can be used together, like a trip or a cookbook where you can share notes about cooking together.
It’s hard to go against the grain when you see everyone around you focused on shopping this time of year, but the true meaning of the season is to spend time with family and enjoy the gift that they are in your life.
If you can’t be with family, then hopefully you can find a friend or even someone that could use your presence in their life. Share the magic inside of you. Everyone has a gift to give that doesn’t cost anything. Creating more love is the gift you give to the world. So do the things you love, and everyone will receive your gift of a higher vibration.
Happy holidays from one unicorn to another!
