Give a Gift of Thanks

Every Christmas seems to bring about the same thing: a huge family dinner, football game, and everyone groaning about how much they shouldn’t have eaten. This year, why not do something different for one of your Christmas gifts? Give a gift of thanks to someone you love. A gratitude journal is a gift that would not be soon forgotten.

A gratitude journal is a notebook that is filled with things you are thankful, or grateful, for. It is special because not only does it help open your eyes even more to the small things that we so often overlook, but it helps someone else to see us in a new light, too.

First, choose a small journal. Usually a pocket-sized notebook with a hard cover is the perfect size for this project. Second, decide who you are going to create this gratitude journal for. Perhaps you want to show your spouse how much you love him/her. Maybe you haven’t felt as connected to your teen as you once were. Or maybe you miss your best friend that you haven’t talked to in a long time.

Next, think about what you want to include in this journal. Think about all the ways that you are grateful to have this person in your life. Finally, begin to write a list on each page of the things you are grateful for.

A gratitude journal is a thoughtful gift for someone you love. For the recipient to finish filling it in throughout the year is the true gift.
