How to Give the Best Holiday Gift

It’s Almost Christmas Eve…

When you’re a kid, this might as well be Christmas Eve. The excitement builds with each passing day, especially as presents begin to appear under the tree—maybe even tempting you to give them a little shake to guess what’s inside.

This season is special. It’s a time to gather with family and friends, to create memories—sometimes without even realizing it—just by being together. Life moves fast, and everyone seems busier than ever. So don’t forget to pause. Breathe. And take a moment just for yourself.

The best gifts aren’t always the ones wrapped in paper. They’re the words we share. Whether it’s a quick text, an email, or an old-fashioned phone call, reach out to those who matter to you.

Think about someone you haven’t heard from in a while. This time of year can feel overwhelming for many. A simple check-in, a kind word, a reminder that they’re not forgotten—these small gestures can mean everything.

This season is about giving. So give the gift of connection. It costs nothing, but its value is immeasurable.
