Geri Roskopf's Blog - Gifts, Presents or Presence

[TowTimes]

From Geri Roskopf's Blog:

 

The holidays are the time of year when gifts or presents are given to family, friends and those special people in our lives. Sometimes you know the perfect gift to give someone, and sometimes you’re racking your brain with what to get, and how much do I spend? 

 

For this time of the year — and perhaps any time of the year — one of the best presents you can give, and doesn’t really cost anything, is your presence. I know that working in the towing profession does not always allow you to be there to celebrate holiday gift openings, church services or dinner, but I have found that any amount of time you can be present at gatherings mean a lot to many. It’s a special gift from you.

 

Disappointment seems to be mixed in with other gifts of the season. I’ve been there many times, and often questioned: the most wonderful time of the year? Right. But, if we dwell on the negative, we’ll miss the moments when we do experience moments of love, joy, hope and peace.

 

Make the most of the time (or presence) you spend with family, friends and loved ones this holiday season. You being there – no matter how long – will be a great gift. Just remember to not be a Grinch, and spread a little laughter and joy. Here are a few jokes you can use to do just that.

 

Why does everyone love Frosty the Snowman? He’s cool!

 

Why is a foot a good Christmas present? Because it’s a good stocking filler.

 

What kind of music do elves like best? Wrap music.

 

Have the happiest of holidays, and thanks for all you do to serve the motoring public and contribute to safe travels.
