A GIFT THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE REMEMBERED
Read this true story:
Well… my friend told me about an experience she did. She asked all of her children what they got for Christmas last year and guess what?
None of them remembered what they got!
So this family tried something different the following year. They gave memories instead. And you probably can guess what happened– everyone remembered their “gifts” so much better because it created a memory. And memories can last forever, unlike toys that break or lose their appeal after a few weeks.
So what do you say? Are you ready to try this out?
