It’s that special time of year. The time when family and friends-even my kids-ask the eternal holiday question: “What do YOU want for Christmas?”
Should I respond with a long stream of items-or simply answer that “world peace” would be sufficient?
The more I think about it, I have no real “needs”. I have my health, a wonderful wife and three incredible kids, all of them healthy as well. I still have a job (as of this writing anyway) and a roof over my head. The car works, so does the furnace and I never go to bed hungry. In short, what do I have to ask for?
OK!
Hybrid Golf Club(s)
iPod
GPS
Books
And..oh yeah,
Underwear
There you have it..aside from the last item, none of it is essential, important, required or a life-changer.
I’ll be overjoyed when my 8 year old makes a picture for me. It will be better than anything from a store. Making a donation to a worthy cause in my name (or not) is better than a gift for me. A happy holiday will be defined in far more expansive terms than mere STUFF! We all have enough STUFF!
Happy Holidays!
