ARethinking Gift-giving
t the end of every year, we think about gifts and consider to whom and what we give, and how much we want to spend. Polls show that
the average American spent more than they wanted to (more than $800) on holiday gifts last year, and that 70% would give up Christmas gift-giving if they had the choice.
For you, has gift-giving become a dreaded “chore”? If not, and you enjoy it, keep doing it. However, if it’s become a drag, why continue? Send a loving message to those people (you know who they are) saying, “In- stead of exchanging physical gifts this year, let’s simply gift each other with positive thoughts instead. Thank you for your friendship throughout the years.” It’s not easy to initiate, but something to consider if you’ve lost the gift-giving joy.
