Two people discuss moving beyond generic gifts to thoughtful, personalized ones. Small details matter: matching a child's favorite character or color makes them feel special. One speaker shares writing a long love letter for Shane at Christmas as the most meaningful gift.
I learned throughout the years, because before I just liked celebrating people and I would just give them what I thought, you know, I would want. And I realized it's giving people what would bless them and what they would want. And so it's putting thought, it's sometimes really getting creative, actually most of the times getting creative. And it's just a joy. I think that's so much fun.
Yeah, she's really good. It's good. I mean, I think as long as you're putting in the thought, and I watched her do that, just put in the thought on what that person would like, what would make them feel special, those things that they like, and those little small little touches that might not cost a lot of money. Oftentimes they didn't. It meant, it means, you know, it can mean so much. You know, I think of our girls, for example, you know, she knows what they like. So she always will get the, you know, the specific character or whatever it is, you know, color scheme that they want. And it's always so great. It's a blessing. I can see it on our girls' face when they get to see this.
And if I made a color-schemed party for Shane, he wouldn't even notice the color scheme. So I wrote him a really long, passionate love letter for Christmas. Oh man, that was so good.
