Recently, somebody who is a gift to me gave me the gift of this question:
What makes a good gift?
What makes a good gift, to you?
During this time of gift-giving, I think good gifts include
- thoughtfulness,
- kindness,
- attention to what people like,
- pleasant memories,
- really listening to each other,
- acceptance of differences,
- fun,
- originality, and
- I hope, my photos from yesterday.
I believe that one of my photos, above, brings the good gift of a musical suggestion for this Christmas and Chanuka Day.
Any comment from you would make a good gift, indeed.
Gratitude also makes a good gift and I have gratitude, here and now, for all who helped provide the good gifts in this post and for you — of course! — for the very good gift of your visit.
Peace and blessings to you and your family, and thank you for the gift of this, and all your posts.
Thanks for the many gifts in your comment, Peter.
Gifts of my time and of kindness. And homemade cookies. Those were my gifts this year.
Peace.
Wonderful gifts, Emilie.
What a heartwarming gathering and fun time Ann!
I love platy.
The best gift is being here and now. 💝
You give the best gifts, Val!
That platypus is the best. Happy Holiday to you my friend-nothing like the gift of friendship ❤
Thanks for the great gift of your friendship, Lisa.
Family is where it’s at!! Both inner corcles and the circles Around that❤️Love to all!
You are a gift to me, Carol. Love to you and yours.
Love the Nutcracker steps. Happy and Merry to you, Ann. 🕎 🎄🕎 🎄
Love all the gifts in your comment, which made me happy and merry.
The best gift is from the heart!

Thanks for the heart-felt gift!
I had a good day, it looks like you had a good day and I want those Nutcracker statues for my house just saying
I’m just saying that I appreciate the gift of you, Joanne.
You, Ann, make a great gift with your outlook, attitude, kindness and heart. ❤
The gifts you see in me, Colleen, you definitely possess.
I love your heart Ann. Absolutely love it.
Ann, your blog is a great gift. I bet you knew I was gonna say that. But that does not make it any less true. Next to your blog, coffee also makes a great gift. Then there’s a steep drop to number 3, I think.
I was so grateful for the great gift of your comment today, Jeff, that I shed a happy tear. ❤
Thought.
A thoughtful gift.
Happy Holidays!
I happily appreciate the gift of this holiday visit from you, Russ.
Anything that makes me laugh or think, or laugh and think, is a gift. Every day, not just Christmas, you offer gifts.
I hope you know what a gift you are, Chris.
Happy Holidays, Ann. I’m a sucker for anything that makes me laugh — lie the moose and squirrel cookies! Brilliant!
I loved those too, Elyse! Happy Holidays and thank you for another wonderful gift today.
What makes a good gift? Well your pictures of course AND a dish by Michael!
Happy Hanukkah! Thanks for the gift of this comment.
Happy Holidays Ann! This post was a gift. These photos are loaded with joy!
Your comment is a wonderful gift for me. I hope you are having joyous holidays!
The one holding the platypus is goodest
Good for you, Derrick! ❤

Love the soldiers on the stairs. I have found inexpensive and much appreciated baked goods becoming my fav gifts. Am I the only one that loves fruitcake as a gift?

Peace be with you, Ann, today, tomorrow and always. xo hugs, Robin xo
Another wonderful gift from you, Robin! ❤ ❤ xxoo
