The Journey

For the last several years, I have been looking for a way to keep the true meaning of the Christmas Sesaon from being forced out by the busyness and commercialization of this Season.

My plan this year is to find a video that focuses in on an aspect of Christmas of which I need to be reminded. After the video, I wanted to write a thought or two and a plan of action for the day.

So I invite you on this journey with me. I am going to try and do this each day during the week - hopefully I will be able to keep this pace.

Day Three - 17 Days Till Christmas!

Future Garage Sale Fodder


Ok ... I must admit - I enjoy shopping for Christmas presents. I don't even mind the crowds or waiting too long in line. I have been known to organize long lines and leading them to sing Christmas Carols while waiting! (tis true)


However, what I don't like is wasting money. It bothers me to see "last years must have toy" at a Garage Sale in July for $2.50. A few years ago I adopted this gift giving strategy, "If it isn't going to survive the year, don't give it." Having to teenage boys, that can be more expensive at times, but it seems to have worked out well.


This video may express it better.



A great gift you can give if yourself. Your time, your attention, nothing says "You Matter" like spending quality time. Be wise in your gift giving. Invest yourself in others. Long after the gifts are gone, the relationships will remain.


Happy Gift Giving!!
