Now that you are about done with your Christmas shopping, what is next?

          

The gift of Charity

  For all of those who took my advice you should be about ready to wrap up the gifts you have been buying for the last few months.  Now is the time to wrap them and start the decorating the house if you already haven’t. 

The gift buying should have been a good experience since you weren’t hurried and were able to find that perfect gift at a good price.  Well if this isn’t the case for you then there is still plenty of time to enjoy the season.  With all the sales in the stores you should be able to find something you think they will be pleased with.  If not, make them something.  Everyone loves cookies or some homemade candy nuts.  Don’t overspend beyond your budget - that takes all the fun out of the Holidays, instead give of yourself.  Maybe they need help washing the windows or cleaning the house or garage.  Helping to organize, any of these things are something that will be appreciated more than a bought present. 

Don’t forget that charity is the greatest gift you can give.
