“I once bought a set of batteries for Christmas with a note on it saying, toys not included.”

Have that holiday feeling?
The frantic rush to the mall?
The stress of ordering an online gift for next-day arrival?

How about the pressure to bake cookies?
To send Christmas cards?

You may be feeling the anxiety that you’re not ready
And the days are dwindling.

This Christmas, take the time to make time.
Allow yourself the opportunity to stand still.

Seek more Christmas presence than Christmas presents.
Reground yourself to the purpose of the day.

Make the best gifts under your tree
The gift of love you share for one another.

That’s the true holiday feeling.

Yours in achieving your personal best . . .
