Give a Treasure this Year!

  

     November is a great time to be grateful for so many things. But it is so hard to be grateful for the chaos that seems to explode during this time of year. People get anxious about giving gifts, they run the numbers and they find they do not have enough for that huge boat they wanted. Some people get depressed because of all the gifts they think they have to buy. Through this craziness we forget to continue to be grateful for the ones we love and those who make our lives better.Why not make the holidays be a reason for people to enjoy a little more toastier toes and a fun family side tv watching around a fireplace.

      Now I am not suggesting to get a fireplace for a friend, relative or even your mom! I am suggesting that you treat yourself to a small upgrade to bring people closer together! It is shown on so many tv shows that families sit around the fireplace telling stories or just talking, in the modern family we have tv and people like to cuddle up to a comfy couch and a movie with friends and family. Some times all we need is family during the holidays and not presents. 

      Lets face it sometimes our lives are like this fireplace above the brick is showing dirt it dated and it is an eye sore. We are so slumped into giving things that we cannot afford or stressing about if the present you got "Aunt Sally" will be what she likes or if she will be offended because you got a generic brand instead of name brand. If we remodel how we look at the holidays and consider family time as a gift there is no price tage no name brand just good old fashion time with a timeless twist. 

     The secret is you are giving but it is a better gift than thing. As the Grinch said: "that is what it is all about isn't it? Gifts? Gifts. gifts. gifts gifts." and like his point we grow out of things and we throw them away.
      There has not been one family time that I have had that has been throw away in my life. I have a huge family and every moment with them is the best and it is a treasure not a thing. Give a treasure this year get a reason to gather!
