At Christmas, we open not only presents, but also our hearts.
Janice Mediter
The pre-Christmas and pre-New Year period is a time of goodness and its magical power.
Good deeds are always inspiration, warmth in the soul, hope for the best and faith in the victory of good. Moreover, for everyone: who does good, who receives good, who wants good.
It’s good that holidays remind us of this.
About gifts
The most valuable gifts:
- love
- tenderness
- time/attention
- care
- support
- help
- compliment/approbation
It’s not about the size of the wallet/box, it’s not about the glitz and value in monetary units.
These gifts are about feelings and sincere attitude, about the desire to do good and share your warmth.
Remember this when you choose a souvenir or another attribute of the “Christmas atmosphere”, when you are upset because of a lack of funds or when you are annoyed by overloaded delivery services and stores.
Just call/visit, write a letter/card, ask if you need help, if there is any urgent need…
Instead of a “gift” to the boss, “who has everything”, give fruit/products to a lonely neighbor, and instead of another “attribute of happiness” from a famous brand to yourself/someone, satisfy the basic need for food/clothes/toys of a child from a low-income family. This is how you will give warm memories and faith in goodness and humanity. This is the most valuable.
We always have a choice.
