What Was the Best Part of Your Day?
Summary
More than just creating picture frames and holiday scarves, we're crafting memories I hope he'll cherish forever. I aim to teach him that gifts from the heart are far more meaningful than those from the wallet.Article
Every evening, my son and I follow a bedtime ritual that's as constant as the stars. After reading a couple of books, we settle into his bed to reflect on our day. I ask if it was a good one, and being the cheerful boy he is, he always answers, "Yes."
We discuss the highlights and I then ask him to pick the best part. His answers often surprise me, but they make me realize something wonderful: my son has his priorities right.
Noah's grandparents live out of state, and their visits come packed with spoiling. On one occasion, they brought him several small gifts, took him shopping for a new Power Ranger, and got him his first big bike?"a Spider-Man one. They treated him to outings at the park, children's museum, and McDonald's.
But after they left, when I asked Noah about his best memory, he thought for a moment and said, "Going for a walk with Grandpa and seeing the dead possum."
This possum, located along our regular walking route, had become a point of fascination for us. Whenever we saw it, Noah would talk about his grandfather and update him on its status over the phone.
Consider this: despite the shower of gifts and lavish outings, his favorite memory was a simple walk where he got to explore and share with his grandfather.
Why do we spend so much during the holidays on expensive gifts that are often forgotten or outgrown before the decorations are down? Truly, the greatest gift is our time and attention.
Not only is this a wonderful gift for our loved ones, but it's also a gift for ourselves. The holiday hustle?"crazy shopping malls and traffic jams?"can be overwhelming. So, this season, let's give the gift of quality time.
Sitting around the kitchen table making homemade Christmas cards with Noah ensures our holiday message will stand out from the pile of commercial cards. We spend hours laughing and creating with glitter, glue, and scissors. I'd much rather bond over glitter than a decomposing possum.
We're also crafting holiday gifts for family members, creations that will be cherished by grandparents and cousins alike. More than making picture frames and scarves, we're crafting lasting memories. I hope to teach him that gifts from the heart mean infinitely more than those from the wallet.
It seems he already understands this lesson as he cuddles beneath his pillow and quilt?"both lovingly handmade by his grandmother?"for his afternoon nap.
Crafting memories, not just gifts, is the true essence of the holidays.
