The most thoughtful gift I can give on Christmas to someone close to me is myself and my talents. I’m hosting and cooking the Christmas dinner; all the invitees have to do is show up.
My husband will help me by setting up extra tables and chairs, cleaning the floors, and paying for everything.
Our Christmas card will include suggesting getting together and splitting the bill for a meal.
Some of my immediate family members have discussed getting together to declutter and clean, thus helping each other. It is easier and more energizing when one has some help to do a task.
I sew; therefore, I hem, sew on buttons, and repair seams and rips for those who cannot.
I craft, so I’ve plans to do a craft with some of them. I have the supplies.
At our ages (my family and friends) [and in this time of uncertainty], spending time with each other (yeah, yeah—safely) is more important than ever.
Give of yourself—your time and your talents as a Christmas present.
My Christmas card contains the following sayings.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I’ve missed being with you throughout this trying year.
So let’s get together when there is nothing to fear.
Whether we cook and clean or do something else around the house,
I won’t tell anyone. I’ll be quiet as a mouse.
So just let me know when you want to get together.
I’m always available through storms or fair weather.
It can be before Christmas or after the New Year too,
Always, please, remember that I love you!
