If there's someone you wish you'd thanked for a benevolence you've remembered all your life, an old acquaintance with whom you've quarreled and would like to be reconciled, grab pen and paper and write a note to tell them so. Give a gift that's really needed. Often we buy people presents for the sake of buying them something. Children might appreciate coupons relieving them of chores, teens with driver's licenses a chance at the family car, or new brides a promise to help write thank-you notes. A lovely way to remember this Christmas, planting trees in a threatened forest ecosystem could also make a great last-minute gift for a nature-loving friend. Among the other things to do on Christmas Eve, you can create a new family holiday or a Christmas gift book, give each family member his own part of the tree to decorate, eat by tree light and go to church.
