Christmas & Civility

Our Christmas (or holiday) gifts are not just the materials things we give but the way we live our lives with others.

I found this wonderful quote that I would like to share.

“Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.” ~ Oren Arnold

I like it because it reminds us that our Christmas (or holiday) gifts are not just the materials things we give but the way we live our lives with others, the things that come from our heart: forgiveness, tolerance, love, service, charity, a good example, respect.
