    • What Do Your Gifts Communicate?

      I'm sure you feel some pressure to spend more than you have. Giving time and energy is fine, but giving monetary things that aren't within our current means is a bad example for our kids and for the world. Most of it is garbage anyway that's forgotten in a few weeks while you're still paying your
      credit card bill. Not cool. Let me support you with all the ways  you can be
      reasonable and moderate this holiday season, yet giving with all your heart. I love you. This is my gift to you.
