The run-up to the Christmas festivities demands inspiration from everyone who gives gifts whether to relatives, friends or colleagues.
In fact, it is probably the richest time of year for the creation of ideas, it demands a different way of thinking about our nearest and dearest. It's probably the only time of year when the majority of the population, is pushed into being creative and innovative. Some folk are really good at it while others give gift cards and vouchers.
I recognise the temptation. The accumulated heaps of goodies beneath the tree represent a deal of creative thought and in themselves can be inspiring.
As a child, if you came from an average background in the UK, there would be that anticipation of opening the bright shiny-wrapped gifts. The wondering of what is inside the boxes generates the good place enzymes that pushes us humans into feeling good. The whole exercise is good for us whether we write or not. The process is not difficult to breakdown.
In considering what gift to give someone you bring into play your knowledge of that person and your shared history; you factor in the funds available for you to spend; you consider the type of person you're hoping to please; and, the recent interactions that you have had together. All those factors help you to feel positive when in fact it could be so much easier to emulate the Grinch.
By now the majority will have gone through the above process and are undoubtedly feeling relieved that it's almost over, but try and remain positive and congratulate yourself on what you have in fact achieved. Those positive vibes could generate even more ideas.
Merry Christmas
God Bless
