Dear Unity Friends,

I am sure some of you have already finished your holiday shopping. Some of us have not even made a list yet. And then there of those, like my hubby, who will be out shopping on Christmas Eve.

Here is a list of gift ideas that will go easy on the pocketbook. Read and enjoy.

Eight Gifts That Cost Not A Cent

1. THE GIFT OF LISTENING... But you must REALLY listen. No interrupting, no daydreaming, no planning your response. Just listening.
    
2. THE GIFT OF AFFECTION... Be generous with appropriate hugs, kisses, pats on the back & handholds. Let these small actions demonstrate the love you have for family & friends.
    
3. THE GIFT OF LAUGHTER... Clip cartoons. Share articles & funny stories. Your gift says "I love to laugh with you."
    
4. THE GIFT OF A WRITTEN NOTE... a simple "Thanks for the help" note or a full sonnet. A brief, handwritten note may be remembered for a lifetime and may even change a life.
    
5. THE GIFT OF A COMPLIMENT... A simple and sincere, "You look great in red," "You did a super job," or "That was a wonderful meal" can make someone's day.
    
6. THE GIFT OF A FAVOR... Every day, go out of your way to do something kind.
    
7. THE GIFT OF SOLITUDE... There are times when we want nothing better than to be left alone. Be sensitive to those times and give the gift of solitude to others.
    
8. THE GIFT OF A CHEERFUL DISPOSITION... The easiest way to feel good is to extend a kind word to someone; really, it's not that hard to say Hello or Thank You.

Namaste`
