The Best Gift Of All

peaceful holiday

Everyone is buzzing about getting ready for the holidays. Streets are busy, stores are packed and every mom I meet is overwhelmed at all there is to do. Stop. Breathe. Take a breath. Ask your kids what they got for __________ (fill in your holiday) last year and I guarantee that they won't remember. But they will remember the time with you. They will remember baking cookies for Santa, lighting the menorah for Hanukkah or playing a game with the family because no one is working. The best gift truly is time. Give yourself the gift of time this year. Ask for babysitting so you can take a couple of hours to yourself. Or for a date night. And the best gift you can give is time too. Instead of the typical presents wrapped in paper, consider giving an experience. Get tickets to a play or go somewhere to paint pottery. Let's get off this crazy roller coaster of overwhelm and instead enjoy the moments between the holidays and occasions. Happiness is what happens on just an ordinary day. Don't wait for New Year's Resolutions to realize that no day is more important than the one you are in right now. Savor it. Live it. Appreciate it. No matter what holiday you celebrate, we wish you the merriest, happiest and healthiest! We thank you for being a part of our Stroller Strides family!
