For Christmas, Anniversaries, Birthdays, Anytime

Holiday Gift Giving is getting to be a hectic time of year. The stress of buying gifts for your loved ones, relatives, friends, and even casual acquaintenances can be devastating. It leads to the Bah-Humbug syndrome.

One solution is: START EARLY. If you leave the shopping to the last moment, you will just be picking out anything without regard to the wants or needs of the person for whom you are shopping.

Another idea is: A LIST. Make a list of all the people you intend to buy for. Classify them according to the departments in your local store. Men, Women, Children, Teens, Babies, Pets, and Gift departments. 

If you have a special gift to get, put it at the end of the list. That way you will not be rushed (if you have bought the others gifts) and can spend more time and thought on the gift.

If someone expects a specific gift, get it EARLY, or the stores might just run out. 

If something has to be special-ordered, do it EARLY, or someone might be disappointed.

Here is a Money Saving Idea: Books, Magazines, Videos, DVD's, CD's and Computer Games and Software can be shipped as Media Mail, if there are no advertising brochures or letters or other correspondence in the package. Make sure that everything in the package is OK to be shipped by Media Mail. Send it EARLY, probably no later than December 10. Ask your postmaster to be sure. 

A wonderful Christmas gift is a homemade Christmas Gift. Here you are giving of yourself, both in the giving of the gift and the making of the gift. Two gifts in one.

If you are not inclined to make your own gifts, you can still give the gift of yourself.

Write a letter to a distant person. (No, not the usual typed Christmas letter that goes out to everyone.) Or reach out and call someone. 

Visit someone you have not visited in awhile.

Volunteer to ring the bell for the Salvation Army for one day.

Buy a gift for a child and put it in the box at the local shopping mall.

Donate canned goods or non-perishable items at your local Post Office.

As Scrooge said "Keep Christmas in your Heart".
