Well, there’s just over a week to go until Christmas and I’m sure many of you are still deciding what to get. It’s hard to deny that we as a society spend way too much on things we really don’t need. The best gift I ever received was a handmade birthday card from my best friend. Even thought it was just a folded piece of blank white paper, it really meant a lot that someone had taken the time to write from the heart. What’s the best gift you ever received?
