Here we are, the day that we’ve all been waiting for (or not) is almost upon us. Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, love it or loathe it, in just two more sleeps the big fella will be en route to all the good little chicks. We hope you have been a little bit naughty, but with enough nice thrown in so you’ll be getting a lovely present.
And you know we don’t just mean a material gift. With all of the gift-giving we do here at CWC you could be mistaken for thinking that’s what we think life is all about, but for those of you who have looked a little deeper, you’ll know all of our gifts and brands are carefully chosen for their presence. Their reason for being. And the story that goes with them.
We believe presents should have presence.
And so should you.
With just two sleeps to go, you could be forgiven for feeling a bit stressed, especially if you venture “out there” to the shopping malls, or even to your inbox. It seems like everyone is trying to seduce you to purchase that elusive “perfect gift” from them. But you know why its elusive don’t you? Because just like, health, wealth, beauty and in fact almost everything: it comes from within. The perfect gift is not a present, but your presence.
Your undivided, gorgeous and yes, absolutely priceless presence. It’s what your kids want more than anything, it’s what your Nan craves, and it’s the reason your Mum just wants to spend time with you.
There’s just two sleeps to go. If you are considering running out to get “one more thing” perhaps give yourself the gift of presence for a moment. Pour yourself a cuppa, breathe deeply, and think about how you could give the gift of presence instead. There’s a lovely quote that says, “What’s around the tree is more important than what’s under the tree”.
Let’s all gather around the tree, be grateful for the richness of our loved ones and the abundance in the world, and be truly, joyfully, present.
Be Merry!
