3. Connect with the people you love!
Not everyone you love was at the Thanksgiving dinner table yesterday. On Black Friday, invite someone you love to have a visit, meet someone for coffee or tea, make some calls to friends and family who are far away, and consider hand writing a letter to those older folks who mean a lot to you (they’ll love it). Celebrate the gifts of time and connection by reaching out to that of God in your loved ones.

As the world around us descends into consumerism and frenzy, we can step aside and let it run right past us. This is not about restoring the true meaning of the holidays – and who knows what that is, anyway? Stepping aside allows us to stay in contact with God (or higher power, goddess, Spirit) and with God within us all.
