If you celebrate Christmas, do you remember all of the presents you received last year? If you don't celebrate Christmas - think back to your last birthday.

No?

Well, can you recall 75% of the presents you received?

How about at least half?

While I'm sure many of us can remember some of the gifts, I'll bet that it's much easier to recall where we were and with whom we spent the holidays. So my question to you is:

"Which is more important - the gifts you give people or the time you spend with them?"

Over the coming weeks, as we run around frantically doing our holiday shopping, I invite you to remain mindful of how precious time is.

Here's a thought to help you with this:

"It's not the value of the presents - it's the value of the present!"

ENJOY NOW!
