Holiday Wishes and Gifts for Christmas
Greetings!
Here's wishing you the very best and a safe and happy Holiday season.
My husband and I are planning to spend Christmas in Bombay and return on January 17th.
We feel very brave, considering the recent terrorist attacks which sadly left so many casualties, and so much destruction. I also feel "Fools rush in..where angels fear to tread"!! And just for laughs ...see Obama and Hilary in India!!!
These riots and brutalities are rearing their ugly head everywhere in the world, and is there really any safe place to go?
What the world really needs today is Good Thoughts, Prayers and Blessings for Peace and Harmony.
Choosing the perfect gift
What is a perfect gift?
During the holidays and special occasions we often give gifts because it is customary to give. This Christmas, the big box stores struggling under a huge economic burden, are slashing prices and fast forwarding their sales. It makes it so easy for us to pull out our credit cards and get into the game.
Gift baskets filled with chocolates, nuts and candies in attractive packaging glistening with cellophane and tinsel ribbons, just waiting for a new home! But think again…the unfortunate thing is many of these gifts somehow add to the clutter, and collect dust over the years! Many people track to the stores after Boxing Day to exchange or return unwanted gifts! Think about the unnecessary packaging that adds to the mess in the environment!
