Writer’s Workshop : Extra Special Gift
Gifts
There are many different gifts which one can give. Some gifts can be very expensive but be meaningful while certain items which do not have a large price tag on can mean the world to you. There are also gifts which can’t even be measured by the dollar.
The gift of time is something which is extra special and something which cannot be bought with money. It is something which I really treasure. Spending time with my loved ones and them taking time out to be with me is something that has a lot of meaning to me. Time is something which is really precious. You live for the moment and once it is gone it cannot be retrieved.
Those moments which just occurred will be etched in our memory forever. The time that we spent together on a family vacation. The time sitting together on a bench hand in hand, a walk in the park or just sharing a meal together. Being in the same space as the person/people that you love does make it extra special especially if these moments are not really easy to come by.
What extra special gift have you received this year?
What gift are you gifting your love ones?

I have yet to get my biggest gift this year 🙂 it was unplanned but the opportunity presented itself in the last quarter. Will share it as soon as it’s finalized. 🙂 For my gifts for loved ones, I’m giving in to their wishes on list but only those that I can afford. LOL

I’m giving Christmas presents to my family back home and buy my kiddies the toy that they really want. For my family here I’ll be spending precious time with them this coming Christmas.:)

The best gift i can give my family is my time. Daddy and I have been busy with work, online selling and crocheting this year. So we decided we will not accept orders now until the first week of January. This is to have more time with our family, especially with our son whom we have unintentionally neglected most of the times. Wishing you and your a merry and blessed Christmas!

I usually make my gifts, since I want to give something unique and special, but don’t really have the money. Or know what one person wants. I have to admit that I’ve been talking about getting a sewing machine for a long time, but didn’t want to spend the money “needlessly” on myself. And then, this year, my mother bought me one. I’m so very excited!
Happy Holidays, {:-Deb

You’re right. I used to feel indebted to my SO who was then my boyfriend, who gave me and my boys so much of his time. I used to say that was invaluable. I can’t measure that gift with anything else. Great subject. Happy Holidays!

I really enjoyed reading your post. We try to give our children a gift that has no monetary value at all every year, along with a few that do. But they always like the “thought” gift best of all.
My favorite and most traditional thing I do for them is to write an annual Christmas Eve story that I read on Christmas Eve. It is such a labor of love for me, and they always appreciate the effort. I like to post one of them on Jenny’s blog hop the Thursday before Christmas so I can share it with my blog buddies, too.
Merry Christmas!
=)

I enjoy the time I get to spend with my loved ones too…
It’s hard to explain in words how much I treasure it!
Thanks for linking to the letter “E”!
