The Gift of Time
Whenever I have to tell my daughter I'm too busy to play, she runs to her
room and whips out her drawing paper and crayons. A few minutes later she
has a gift ready for me. It reads:
Gift Certifikit
No Work. A whole day of play with me.
If I begin redeeming my gift certificates, I wouldn't need to work for the
next week and a half. But that shows the best gifts often don't cost a thing,
except time.
So this holiday season consider giving the best gift of all -- the gift of
time. But on those occasions when you can't do that, may I suggest the
second-best gift: books. Here are two of mine to choose from:
ISBN: 0471230324
|
ISBN: 0471718459
|
Buy them at any of these online shops in your country.
Happy Holidays!
-Anu Garg

Do give books -- religious or otherwise -- for Christmas. They're never
fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal. -Lenore Hershey, editor
and writer (1919-1997)
