7 Ways To Make Your Presence

the Best Present This Year.

As the holiday season approaches, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle of gift shopping and wrapping. Yet, the most cherished gifts often aren’t tangible. They’re the moments spent with loved ones—the laughter, the connection, and the memories that linger long after the decorations come down. Here are seven simple and heartfelt ways to be more present this Christmas:

1. Put Down Your Phone: Phones can be distracting, and it’s easy to miss special moments when you’re scrolling or texting. Try putting your phone in a different room or turning it off during family time. Show the people around you that they have your full attention.

2. Listen with Care: When someone is talking to you, listen to them like what they’re saying is the most important thing in the world. Don’t think about what you’ll say next or let your mind wander. Nod, smile, and show them you’re really hearing them.

3. Do Something Together: Shared activities bring people closer. Bake cookies, play a board game, or take a walk to see the Christmas lights. These moments become cherished memories because you’re truly connecting.

4. Create a No-Tech Zone: Pick a time or place where everyone agrees to leave technology behind. Whether it’s during dinner or a cozy evening around the tree, this helps everyone focus on each other instead of screens.

5. Give the Gift of Time: Instead of buying gifts, plan something special to do together. This could be a movie night, a picnic, or a day trip. These experiences can be far more valuable than any item.

6. Be Grateful and Express It: Take a moment to notice the little things—a warm hug, laughter, or a delicious meal. Share your gratitude out loud. Saying “I’m so glad we get to spend this time together” can make someone’s day.

7. Slow Down: The holidays can feel rushed, but try to take things slower. Enjoy each moment as it comes instead of worrying about what’s next. Sip your cocoa, enjoy the music, and savor the simple joys of the season.

Being present is one of the best gifts you can give, not just at Christmas but all year round. It shows your loved ones that they matter more than anything else. This holiday season, focus on creating memories and connections that will last a lifetime. After all, the best things in life aren’t things—they’re the people we share them with.
