As the snowflakes continue to fall, we all know that the holiday season is approaching us. With that being said, we are also entering the “season of giving.”

I would like to challenge others this year to “give a gift that counts.” Here are a few things to consider while preparing your lists:

christmastreeAt Christmas, it’s customary to give something to the people in our lives who perform services for us during the year. Etiquette doesn’t require you to give a gift, but you can give a small token of appreciation if you choose.

in any way we can.

May Peace be your gift at Christmas and your blessing all year through!

“ To your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.” – Oren Arnold
