I think with Thanksgiving and Christmas we can get carried away with the package, wanting the visual to be extra special. But really, each present and connection with family and friends should be an affirmation between you and another person. I think people mostly want to be noticed, valued, and considered important enough for your attention.
Who are the people you are grateful for this year? What pieces of your life do you want to acknowledge as having value?
