The Season of Gifting

December, the time for baked treats, Christmas lights down every road, and the time to share old memories and make new ones with family and friends.

Time was valued around this part of the year in my family growing up. The last month of the year would be well spent, dressed in our brand new Christmas pajamas with a homemade hot cocoa to warm our little fingers in the bitter cold while we drove around our small hometown in Montana, gazing at the color of our town in the twinkling lights. Or perhaps you could find us playing Uno on the floorboards of the kitchen after a long (but well worth it) day filling every corner of the house with homemade ornaments (you know, the ones we made as kids in grade school). On the big day itself, time was spent gathered at Grandma's house to share the mornings events and to exchange treats and gifts with the rest of the family; you could always find Grandma's house packed with the cousins, aunts, and uncles. Some of my fondest moments were made in her living room wrapping presents to put under her tree and hanging lights corner to corner of the house. There was never a dull moment around this time of the year, there was always memories being made and laughter being shared. 

Most importantly, the holidays taught selflessness at a young age, it wasn't much about what you received rather, it was the thought that you put towards others. Thinking of others and giving when you could, whether that was lending a hand to another in need or sharing baked goods to the neighbors. As you can imagine, giving has always held a special place in my heart. I love the feeling of putting a smile on someone else's face and in my young ages, my siblings and I always looked forward to the process of gifting to one another. We always found creative ways to make sure the rest of the family had something under the tree, a special gift made from yours truly; we got pretty creative in our days, drawing pictures, and making headbands were our forte.

As I get older, it's pretty amazing to look back on those memories that were made year after year, and the impact that it's made on the present day. To this day, the thought of gifting puts a smile on my face and this holiday I'm really looking forward to finding the perfect gifts for family and friends. The best part about it, as years go on you really start to pay attention to detail, the special touches that make a gift complete.
