As a young child, I remember lying under the Christmas tree, smelling the tang of fresh pine and dreaming of what was in the boxes lying next to me. Resting my fingers lightly on them, I would imagine their contents. In this moment, anything was possible.

Whether you celebrate Christmas or not, today you can capitalize on the gift-giving energy of Christmas, using it for magical benefit. Sit quietly for just a moment, and ask yourself:

What do I delight in? What is my perfect gift?
What do I long for? What will inspire and uplift? Like a child with a brand-new toy, I now know what brings me joy.
Like Father Christmas bringing parcels, I give myself only tasty morsels.

As you socialize today, perhaps celebrating with family and friends, know that the greatest gifts are those that you give to yourself. They are the most delightful gifts of spirit.
