Last minute shopping! Why do we battle the crowds at the stores just a few days before the holidays? Did we not know the holidays are approaching?
Why has gift-giving become such a priority that we cannot show up for the holidays without a gift? How often do we put the same effort into making memories? Even when budgets are tight, we find a way to spend on presents, right?
This year we all get to celebrate Christmas and Chanukah simultaneously. It is wonderful when these two holidays overlap on the calendar. There are a lot of memories in the making when we celebrate with friends, though there are even more crowds of shoppers at the stores.
Yesterday, I was not thinking and actually ventured out to make a return at one store and make another stop to shop at another. After driving around the first parking lot in a heavy, pouring rain storm for 25 minutes, I gave up on finding a parking spot and returned home. Yes, I too have a last-minute gift to purchase; however, I ask myself what I was so busy with that I didn’t shop long ago for the gift I do need to buy. Most often, I am not a believer of gift-giving for holidays on the calendar. I prefer giving from the heart. Sometimes that may be a material gift but most often I choose to find reasons to get-together to create the moments that we can cherish forever.
Moments create memories and there is infinite space to collect memories. Things take up space. Eventually we can run out of space for possessions and need to get rid of older things to make room for new ones. There is always room for more memories. We can never run out of space for those.
This year if you are going to battle the crowds and do a lot of shopping, be sure to do your best to create moments and generate special memories too.
The memories we create are the most cost effective, heart-felt, space-saving, and above all else, the most priceless gift to give.
To all of my “ME” MondayTM readers, please accept my wishes for a holiday season filled with health, happiness, lots of love and laughter, and most of all the memories you get to keep forever! “ME” MondayTM will resume after the New Year!
Have you met the best version of yourself yet? Who would you see?
