That gift only matters if...

I'm sure the gifts you bought this year are fabulous.  I'm sure you spent a lot of time, money and stress making sure of that (I know I did).

The thing is, the gift only matters if there's love in the hands that give it.

When you hand those gifts over in a few days, fight the urge to stress about the bow being just right and the paper clashing with ribbon.  Instead, try taking that moment to really think about what you're doing. 

You spent all of that time at the mall.  All of that money that you worked hard for.  All of that stress for this single moment.

Take that moment in as much as you possibly can.  It's not about the gift, it's about that moment.
