The Holiday Season.....

I think all of us should try to give gifts to others that come from the heart more than money. These gifts can sometimes be so apparent that all around see them. Such as, opening a door for someone, letting a person check out ahead of you or just being polite to the waitress or waiter. Other times the gift is less noticeable. Such as, calling someone just to say hello, thinking of a person who has moved away or died. These gifts are also gifts for the giver. We feel better about the holiday season which in turn affects how we interact with others and also helps to boost our immune system. Other gifts could be, finding a new friend on facebook, tweet on the positive for the whole holiday season or email those people that you haven't for a while. Let's all think of ways to give from the heart and not the wallet. I don't think that it makes much sense to read or watch heart inspiring stories and then cut others off in traffic, yell those foul four letter words at kids in the store just because they're full of the holiday excitement or try to walk over others physically or verbally in the stores.
