The Final Countdown: Using The GIVER Method to Make the Last 5 Days Before Christmas Matter

The Holiday Countdown
As the final days before Christmas tick by, it’s easy to feel like there’s not enough time to make this season special. But these days hold unique opportunities to connect, reflect, and create joy—if we approach them intentionally.
The GIVER Method in Action
Gifts
Give your time and attention to loved ones. Focus on experiences rather than material items.
Influence
Lead by example. Show others how to slow down and connect through your actions.
Value
Find small ways to show appreciation. A handwritten note or a meaningful conversation can leave a lasting impact.
Engagements
Create space for meaningful interactions. Host a tech-free dinner or plan a family game night.
Relationships
Invest in the people who matter most. Take time to check in, express gratitude, and deepen your connections.
Making These Days Count
Start small. Choose one principle to implement today, such as creating a tech-free zone during dinner. Each step builds toward a holiday season filled with intentional presence and joy.
