I'm sure most of you have started scrambling around stores and online looking for the perfect gifts for your friends and family (unless you're like me, who likes to start shopping around Christmas Eve eve).
There are so many blog posts and store displays advertising "5 Gifts She'll Love" or "The Best Gifts for the Golfer (or whoever) in Your Life." But you know what the best gift is? Your time. Seriously. The times we share with loved ones are more etched into our memories than the gifts we've exchanged with them.

This holiday season, I invite you to do something different. I invite you to put down your phone, your tablet, or your iPad. Turn off the TV, leave work early, clean the bathroom tomorrow. Tell Facebook world and the laundry to wait. There is nothing more important than spending time with someone you love. Take 10-15 minutes (or longer!) and direct your attention toward someone and something worthwhile. Or, maybe there's someone you're not getting along with and you would like to make amends or maybe there's someone you need to forgive. Before this year is up, I challenge you to connect with someone in a meaningful way.
