The Greatest Gifts of Christmas are not the electronic toys or dolls or cars for boys, or diamonds or pearls. The greatest gift anyone can receive at Christmas is really love, caring, sharing, and family and friends. Each year in my life for 54 years I have watched kids of each age cause I lived it of course, want the hottest new toy, the newest outfit, or game, but what they don’t realize is they already have the greatest gift of all, family, friends, love and respect. Maybe if Christmas wasn’t so commercialized as it is today, people would remember and realize. But in todays world and societies, it is all about being in a hurry, and keeping up with everyone else around you. If they have it then you must too, right? Well, sometimes your better off if you don’t.
The Greatest Gift one can receive on Christmas once a year, is a sweet hug or handshake, smile or tear, from someone you hold dear. IT doesn’t take a lot of money or materials to hug a friend or sibling or family members to give them a kiss on their cheek or respect their wishes as they do yours. It isn’t all about money, or materials or what you can get for Christmas, it’s all about relationships and caring and through that the sharing that makes the Season so Bright!
Unlike many people who love to see presents piled high around and under the tree, the greatest gift to me, well, is me being free, being loved and being respected by family and friends and all who know me well. When I can walk outside my home or anywhere I go, and people don’t hide from me, but like to say hello, that’s a gift that few people really do know. The greatest gift I have ever received and ever shall in my heart and my mind, is acceptance by those I love for all time. So, if your like me, it is not money or materials that impress and make me smile, it’s being loved and wanted around for a long while. May each Day of The Christmas Season bring all JOy and Love and Respect for each girl, woman, man or boy! May the Ten Days of Christmas which start today, be Happy, Be Merry and bring family and Friends Your Way!
