Each holiday season we hear of people who shop until they drop, which can go overboard quickly. We also hear of the scrooges who whine about the gifts, etc…Buying gifts for people we love is part of the tradition.  I’m not givin’ that up.  I’m sure you aren’t either.  Let’s do this thing guilt free!  Here’s a simplified way to buy presents, be present and be the present:

In addition to buying presents, be present in all aspects of the season.

In addition to wrapping presents wrap those you love with hugs

In addition to sending gifts, send peace to those you know and don’t know-reach out.

In addition to shopping for food, donate food to those in need

Make cookies.  In addition make love part of all that you do to honor the Christmas season and all seasons for that matter.

See the lights and be the light.

May you bring and accept all the love you need this holiday season.
