Remember not all the gifts for Christmas or whatever holiday you may be celebrating will be gift wrapped!

It can be overwhelming trying to purchase, pack and enjoy the holiday season. And while I (we) stress over what to buy for this person or coworker….it’s time to take a breath and remember the little “gifts” that surround us every day.

• Ignoring the electronic device in your hand
• A smile
• A hug
• A thank you
• A helping hand to somebody trying to carry too much through a busy mall or parking lot
• Little kids giggling in the store
• Cards with pictures of people we know and love
• Short lines at the grocery store
• Safe roads for traveling family and friends
• A parking space within 200 yards of the mall
• A simple dinner with loved ones
• Good health

May all your Christmas and Holiday wishes come true!
