You can’t buy happiness or love

Despite all the newspaper advertisements, TV commercials and e-mail messages we receive at this time of the year, we all know that we can’t buy happiness or love.

One of the best Christmas presents I receive is an annual love note from my husband Tom.  I once offered to help my son landscape his front yard as my present to him, and I have given a homemade dinner to a friend.

This Christmas, I am going to buy presents, but I also am going to remember to look for other ways to give my love and my time to my family and friends.
