Give of yourself
Are your Christmas spirits high and your
bank account low? Don't sit and fret over
how you are going to manage to purchase all
of the gifts you want to give; just look inside
yourself and you'll come up with one of the
nicest Christmas present ideas ever!
To those close friends and relatives who
mean so much to you, why not offer ...
yourself! You could give a friend a month's
worth of cleaning, laundry, sewing of fix -
ups.
Just think of how much mom and dad
would appreciate a promise of weekends
free from cooking, cleaning, mowing, snow -
shovelling, cleaning the car, ironing and so
on.
It's a lovely way of sayng "Merry
Christmas" to someone special.
But, be sure you're willing to do the work
you promised with cheer!
