Merry Christmas

It's that time of year again- the craziness of trying to find that perfect gift that expresses love for the person who will receive it.

This year, I've tried to let go of trying to find the perfect gift and remember that gifting is simply a show of affection. It is the thought that counts after all. 

I wish I could buy a gift for every person who has touched my life this year. There are so many people who have loved me, taught me, supported me and I could never repay that with a gift.

Gifts mean something to me. I don't re-gift and I usually keep every gift given to me. They are a tangible reminder that someone cares for me. I have mugs, pins, magnets, and key chains, all permanently attached to a special person in my memory. Each time I use these items, I am reminded of someone in my life, past or present, who has been important to me.

This Christmas, I remember all the wonderful people who have blessed me.

Merry Christmas
