Last year at this time, we assumed things would be back to normal by Christmas 2021, but here we are still living in a pandemic and now facing supply shortages that keep getting worse.

The good news is that Christmas is about more than the gifts we receive. Here are some fun gifts you can give that don’t require shopping:

• Quality Time. Instead of gifts, plan an activity with each of the people you usually buy gifts for. Take them out for coffee, to their favorite restaurant, for a spa treatment, on a picnic or for a hike.
• Plan a Party. Now more than ever, we value time to gather and celebrate. Host a simple get-together where everyone brings a dish or just prepare a large pot of chili with all the fixings.
• Homemade Gifts. Make your favorite holiday treat or craft to share with those you usually purchase gifts for.

We would love to hear more ideas from you!
