This Was Made For....YOU!

Imagine if you can the mistake I made in assuming that I had....heard it all.
Just when you think you know something.....you find out how little you actually know.
As my Mom used to say, “A person who thinks they know it all....has a lot to learn.”
This is certainly the case in my life as I listen closely to family and friends and even strangers.

I heard someone exclaim recently ...”I don’t need or want anything for Christmas.”.....”Don’t get me one single thing!”....
I knew I was hearing either a Scrooge or a.....Could it be.... a contented man?
In either case.....
I would like to make a suggestion of a few things to give to the one who has.......everything.....who wants for .....nothing.

If you have someone like this .....
Write your feelings, thoughts, remembrances good and bad and put it on decorative paper and place it in a box and wrap it beautifully for the tree. Give them....Words....from your heart and life.

Find a small item, anything from a seashell to an antique key....and write a little story about how this item reminds you of the other person. You would be surprised how long they will keep this item.
(For example: a 10 yr. old boy gave a clock to his Grandfather.....to represent that....”You always have time for me”.)

Find a picture of you and this person.... especially significant.....any age.....have it reproduced and framed to remind the receiver that your view of them...is recorded happily in your matching copy which you keep for yourself.

Open your eyes to the ‘loves’ of their life....Make something by hand that takes thought and time....a labor of love is a priceless gift....
A simple note that says.....This was made....with love....by me....for Y O U!!!
Give what money can not buy....a part of Y O U.....
