Gift Ideas
Quite honestly, if someone for whom you are buying a gift doesn’t know what they want, you don’t need to buy them a gift. The term “gift ideas” really should be “ideas about how to spend money to fuel commerce.” And if holiday gift-giving were up to me, we would give ourselves the gift of prayer and fasting. The gift of quiet. The gift of clarity.

Quiet and clarity sound amazing! I wish I could experience those sometime…
Fasting, not so much.
But I do agree that people shouldn’t be cajoled into giving gifts by those guilt-inducing commercials… “Look how happy you’ll make little Johnny if you buy him THIS!”
My wife and I went just about all-out this year, knowing that we’ll likely be strapped for cash around this time next year (hopefully by then, we’ll be moved into a new house — at least that’s the plan).
