The Best Present Is Presence

The Best Present Is Presence What if you could receive  only one Christmas present this year? What would it be? The answer for us is simple: time. You see, the people we care about mean much more to us than a new pair of shoes or a shiny new gadget or even a certified pre-owned  luxury  car with a huge bow on top. And yet, many of us attempt to give material items to make up for the time we dont spend with the people we love. But possessions cant ever make up for lost time. The next time someone asks you what you want for Christmas, consider responding with, Your presence is the best gift you can give me. When youre completely focused in the momentâ€"no TV, no Internet, no distractionsâ€"it makes a marked difference in the lives of the people around you. When youre fully present, your love radiates. And if youre going to give gifts this holiday season, why not give your unencumbered time and attention first? Your loved ones will be glad you did. Subscribe to The Minimalists via email.
