For a number of years, my wife conducted gift making workshops during early December. During these workshops, she would ask the participants to share their most cherished holiday memories. Not once did anyone recall a specific gift. It was always about something they had done with someone else, something they had done for someone else or something someone else had done for them. The simple, but powerful truth here is that the holiday season is about doing and sharing, not about buying. So, keep this in mind the next time you are stressing out over how you are going to find or pay for that “perfect” gift. Memories are created by what you do, not what you buy.
