Christmas has always been my favorite time of the year — not because of the material elements that are associated with the holiday, but because of traditions and spending time with the ones you love. But, every year I find myself asking the proverbial question, "What do you want for Christmas?" It's sad I know, but because most of us are too busy to shop for that one-of-a-kind rarity, our holiday gifts fall under the category of errand fulfillment.

This year, don't "buy" your way out of holiday obligations, make your gifts! In the process, you'll truly give of yourself, and in return I'm sure you'll have created that perfect gift — the one that's sure to surprise and delight.

Enjoy!
