“As we struggle with shopping lists and invitations, compounded by December’s bad weather, it is good to be reminded that there are people in our lives who are worth this aggravation, and people to whom we are worth the same.”
~Donald E. Westlake, crime fiction writer

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! ‘Tis the season to wrack our brains with the next great, creative, innovative holiday gift for those extra special loved ones that we shower with REALLy awesome gifts!

Yes, I know, the meaning of Christmas is not about giving a lavish gift. Christmas is a time of spiritual reflection on the important foundations of the Christian faith. It’s a celebration of the birth of Christ, salvation of mankind became attainable through the sacrifice of the lamb of God that was born to absolve each of us of our sins through His sacrifice. So, we celebrate Christmas as a remembrance of this monumental birth and later sacrifice that was made for each of us!

Exchanging gifts to commemorate this event has evolved as a form of celebration reflecting how the 3 wise men gifted Mary and Joseph with the finest they had to offer for the newborn babe in Bethlehem. We try to share our hearts with our loved ones through gifting in this same fashion. It feels so wonderful to give joy (within our budget) to those that we cherish, whether a homemade gift or a store purchase.

It feels even better when we find GREAT DEALS on their Christmas lists. Amazon helps us shoppers in so many ways to find great deals, provide excellent customer service, returns, and satisfaction in our ease of purchasing. Many of my picks are obviously found from Amazon!

Here are my TOP 10 PICKS for this years holiday gifts:

“Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.”
~Charles Dickens

#2 WIRELESS POWER BEATS

This essential gift is for any student or athlete in training. In this current culture of virtual classrooms, the noise-canceling earbuds have become part of the essential equipment with the laptop computer! These have been wonderful for the students in my family! What really drew me to these earbuds was the charger case. When you take the earbuds off you safely place them back in their case and magically the next time you take them out of the case they are all charged and ready to go! They usually are around $250 and are on sale right now for closer to $150! Great buy!

This is why these are great gifts… If you have an audible membership, you will plug in the earbuds, listen to an audio book, get lost in a story in your mind and find yourself walking 2 miles per day exercising AND looking forward to that self-care routine to pick up where you left off on that amazing audiobook!

“Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space.”
~Dave Barry, humor columnist
