Is the holiday season-a time of year we can imagine how full of so many possibilities of joy and gift. Too often, however, the holidays are a wonderful experience. When families gather, or there family and friends with, the holidays can become a time of anxiety and fear. It’s easy, if you are predicting a less desirable experience before you, to sink into sadness at the prospect of dealing with a difficult situation and that is outside its control.

An alternative that anyone of us can continue, if the holidays fill us full of excitement or distress, is to focus on being a generous donor, happy!

Don’t worry. What follows is not a recipe for spending more money!

Instead, none of these twelve holiday gift ideas cost any money at all. All they cost is the commitment and effort to do something special that will be remembered years longer than a cheapo caught a holiday present ideas end CAP into a big box retailer.

This holiday, how about …?

Encourage someone to embrace greater aspirations than they do.Protection from someone, helping them, however you can.Praising another for a talent that they don’t even realize they have.Complementing a friend by sharing their talents to compensate one of its weaknesses.Erase a debt, someone owes you.Repairing a relationship that has been stretched for too long.Becoming a peaceful, calming influence in a situation of emotional charge.Discover what is really important in the life of someone close to you.Tackle a task or to-do that someone important to you is struggling to accomplish.Updating the energy you have to share with others pulling their self-imposed responsibilities this holiday season.Reading something positive and motivating you normally wouldn’t read into your daily routine.Listing all the blessings we have received this year and share them with others.
