This Holiday Season…Priceless!

All year round, this blog talks about credit cards.  As useful as they are, the most important things can’t be bought with a credit card.  They are priceless.

25 Priceless Wishes

Here are 25 things we wish you this holiday season, that won’t add to your credit card repayment headaches in the New Year.

• Three minutes of peace and quiet, with your eyes closed, relaxing on the couch.
• The smile of someone you haven’t seen since this time last year.
• The smile in the mirror, just because you’re happy to be alive.
• The feel of cool air when you stick your head outside.
• The feel of warmth when you get inside in the evening.
• The sound of a bird that hasn’t flown south for the winter.
• The sight of tracks in the snow...and trying to determine whether it was a rabbit or a hare.
• The biggest hug you can remember.
• A phone call from someone, just to say how much you are loved.
• The sound of bells.  Yes, many sweet-sounding bells of the season.
• Laughter.  Lots of laughter.  Heaps of full-blown, stress-relieving laughter.
• A good book -- from the library.
• A Christmas movie -- checked out of the library.
• The gift of service to someone else.
• Being gracious as someone offers you service.
• A brisk walk around the block to invigorate your mind.
• The kindness of neighbors.
• The sound of Christmas carols.
• The sound of you singing Christmas carols.
• Watching your children's delight as they open presents. (The presents may have cost you money on the credit card, but you don't have to paying anything Christmas morning to watch them open the gifts.)
• Seeing the world in pure white Christmas morning.
• Gratitude for what you have.
• Optimism for the New Year.
• Pleasure in the company of friends, old and new.
• Keeping the Spirit of Christmas alive in your heart all year round.
