If you’re looking to find happiness and peace, consider gifting forgiveness!
I’ve never been a gift-giving conformist. The first and last time my husband and I exchanged traditional Christmas gifts was 1981. We purchased them in October, opened them in November and paid off credit card bills till the following April. I barely remembered what we’d exchanged.
For the record, I’ve received a few noteworthy gifts: surprise trips with my husband; chocolate truffles made by our daughter; and special invitations from friends.
I’ve happily happily gifted concert tickets to girlfriends and given engagement and baby showers to young women. Adding to my giving excitement, I’ve outfitted a few women in attire they wouldn’t think to purchase for themselves.
