If the house were burning down what would you grab first? It probably won’t be the DVD player, laptop or Wii. After the pets, it will be those things that have touched your heart over the years.
Here are some of the ideas taken from our gathering this week...
Gratitude box - “My wish for you this year…”, “Thank you for…”, “What I love about you…”

Gift of Time
Instead of buying more stuff... create ways you can share time with the ones you love.
- Make a standing date every week/month/quarter where you spend time together. Go for a walk, drink tea, play scrabble, go bowling or roller skating etc.)
- Volunteer together for your favourite charity - one time or make a big impact by making it a regular contribution.
- Purchase concert, sports, or movie tickets for buyer and receiver.
Home Cookin'
Seasonal preserves, jams and baked goods are always a welcome gift.
The rest of the resources are listed below in subsequent postings.
Happy Holidays Everyone. We'll see you in the new year.
