This year, time with family is something that everybody wants for the holidays. Unlike every other Christmas, this one will take place durin the middle of a pandemic. This year, one thing I can give to my family is time together with them. I have not seen over half of my family since March and I hope that this Christmas I will be able to see them again. Whether it’s in person or over a zoom call, I want to see them and I’m sure the feel the same way.

Well Christmas is only a few days away. So many new possibilities now that were in quarantine. Sure maybe they are limited, but definitely not impossible. We could still do so much like we can spend our time indoor making decorations for our tree. If you have a backyard when it snows you can play in it. You can also sit around a campfire or even make your own pretend one. You can never stop to think of what this Christmas can bring!

Christmas is only 21 days away. During this Christmas time, I think it is more crucial to make our loved one feel happy and loved. There are many ways that I can give without spending money. After all, Christmas isn’t about what you get, it’s about what you give. One of the many ways that I can give without spending money is by baking. They only reason why I actually bake is because the smile that my family gives whenever they eat what I bake is magical. Whenever they smile, I smile. The other is to try and help more people. Being helpful is a characteristic of mine that I cannot resist. Anytime I see somebody that needs help, I would help them without thinking what I would get in return. I just think about how thankful that person would be that I helped them. Once again, Christmas isn’t about what we get, it’s about what we give.

As Christmas approaches, I’m constantly thinking about what to get my family but I overlooked the importance of non material things. My mom always tells me that she needs a little extra help in the house because she works from home. One idea I had was a homemade coupon booklet that she can redeem for a chore for me or to spend time with me. I think it’s a fun idea for her to get me to a little more than I usually do. For the rest of my family, I could also make coupon books more related to the things they enjoy!

Christmas is the time of year when you give to others instead of getting. Those gifts should not come from a price tag, but from the goodness in your heart. One thing that I can give to others is my time. I am always invited to parties or small gatherings, and I never go to them because they seem annoying. However, I came to realize that it’s important to give everyone your time, even if it’s just for fun. Therefore, showing a little bit of love should not have a price tag on it.

As we enter the Christmas season, not only should we be thinking about ourselves but we be thinking about others. There are many moneyless gifts that people appreciate. I can give to my family the gift of kindness. I can cook them a small meal and give them the day off! I love my parents very much and they're so hardworking so a day off seems like the best Christmass present I can give to them.

The Christmas season is finally here, meaning everyone is spending money for gifts. I myself have been struggling to get others gifts, but I can still give without spending any money. One thing I can do is something homemade. I can try to bake, cook, or some type of art for my family once Christmas is actually here. I feel as though if i make something homemade, it'll be more thoughtful and more meaningful. I live with a big family, meaning there is always some type of mess. I can clean up and help out more with house chores.

Christmas is going to be in the pandemic this year. Some gifts I can give is being together with my family. There is homemade things I can make like homemade ornaments for the Christmas tree. You can always think about getting a gift with no money. You can make it yourself or have someone else help you make it.

Due to the situation we are in now we are barely able to have the Christmas we all wished for. Even though this is the case, I believe that we can still give meaningful presents without going out and spending money. One thing that I can do for my family is show them my kindness and love. I can do thing by helping them physically with things around the house. This is because my mom usually has trouble coping with her job and taking care of her kids at the same time. If I help her this way I can make her job way easier.

There are many things I can give without spending money. The first thing I can do is make something that came from the heart. I can give my family something I made that I put time into. Another thing is by helping and just by being with my family. It's nice to have gifts, but it's even better to spend time with your family.

When Christmas is coming everybody is busy shopping here shopping there, but me as an elder, I just simple save money and show it to my mom during Christmas. December is my birth month. I considered myself as a gift. I can give also a listening ear, a playmates of my siblings, a helping hands, giving huge hug, kisses and encouraging words that simple touch their heart.

There are many ways to give gifts without spending money for me. I can give gifts such as helping around the house such as cleaning, and helping out wherever it is needed. This is one of giving gifts from my heart instead of money. Money is good but having a gift from the bottom of your heart is priceless. Another gift I could give is my love for my family. Love is priceless and something you share and money could never beat that.

Just like everyone says, Christmas is a season of giving. However, a lot of people don't realize that in order to give, you don't need to spend any money at all. In fact, you just need your heart, and if done wholeheartedly, it can go a very long way. Being there for others is a really great example of giving with your heart. Some people are unfortunately lonely on Christmas time, and they just need someone to see them. Visiting them, greeting them, or just smiling at them are really great ways to make their day a lot better. Also, you can also make physical gifts without spending a single dollar. You can make homemade bracelets, a box fort, a really cool origami, or you can even prepare some food and send those things off to people. You don't need money to spread love, and I'm pretty sure that everyone knows that already. They just need to start using their hearts in order to make Christmas really count.

I think there’s a lot of ways I can give to others without spending money. I can try even harder to show acts of kindness during this Christmas season. I should probably spend some more time with my family because I’m usually in my bedroom most of the day. I can also make, which is good because it can be personalized.

Every year, we are bombarded with advertisements for stores and products. Not every thing during Christmas has to be shoved in our faces though. Gifts from the heart are always more meaningful than a store-bought product. There are a few ways that I can give with my heart this Christmas season. The first way is just by helping out around my house. My parents work really hard every day to keep our house tidy and a space that can be lived in. I could give them a break and clean up the house myself. Another way I can give with my heart is by making something homemade instead of buying something from a store. Another way I can give with my heart is simply by being kind. Sometimes a kindness can be the greatest gift. A final way I can give with my heart is by giving thanks. Just knowing that someone loves you can be one of the most meaningful gifts a person can get. While the Christmas season may be bombarded with commercial products shoved in our faces, sometimes the best gifts come from the heart.

When people think of Christmas, they think of presents and decorating trees. But you don't have to buy presents all the time, you can make something yourself, or hand down something you don't use anymore. For example, throughout my childhood, I've been gifted a lot of toys, some I will never give away, and some I'm not attached to anymore. So, I can gift the toys' that I am not attached to anymore to my little cousin. Also, spending time with family is a gift itself.

As Christmas is around the corner, many people are trying to get gifts for their loved ones. But there are a few ways that I can give others something without spending any money. Since COVID-19 is still around, there's a lot of things I can help with in the house, like helping my mom clean and tidy up everything. I can sleep a little earlier, so my parents won't worry as much. I can also look after my siblings, making it easier for my parents to get done with whatever they need to get done. And lastly, I can spend more time with them, even if its just an extra hour!

Christmas is a time for giving and not getting. You can give people things that don't need money. For example help around the house like help move things around or clean. Another gift is a homemade Christmas card from that heart. One more thing I can give is love like spending time your your family or spread the Christmas spirit. Those are a few ways that you can give without spending money

As Christmas Day is coming in a few weeks, some ways I can to others without spending money is to spend more time with my family. I am usually locked up in my room all day and only go outside for food, water, or the bathroom. I can also show my love more by saying “I love you” more often. Maybe on Christmas Day we can bake cookie, watch movies, and play some games together. Even though COVID is still around it won’t effect a great Christmas with me and my family.

When the Christmas season arrives, we are pressured to buy and give to others. There are ways that we can give without buying or spending a lot of money on an item. For birthdays and other special days, I give cards to people. Cards are great gifts to give without spending a lot of money. You can also show your creativity with it. Another way to give with your heart and not money is by being more responsible. Sometimes during the Christmas season, we get stressed. I can do my chores better and faster. I can spend less time on electronics. My parents won't have to worry about this as much during this season of giving.

Christmas usually brings gifts, gifts that you have to buy. But if I had one gift to give that I didn’t have to buy would be kindness. Kindness can be shared all through the house and to everyone around you. Kindness can do so many wonderful things but some people don’t have it. Kindness is the type of gift that you can give anybody in the world to be happy with.

One way I choose to give is through time. Time is one of the most important resources a person has. This holiday season, I choose to give my time by reaching out to others I have not heard from or have not spoken to in a long time via text, phone call, or zoom. Giving my time shows that I care enough to spend a portion of my day with someone who means a lot to me. In my heart, this gift of time is better than any store bought gift.

A way to give to others without spending any money can be finding something random or an old toy in your house and wrapping it up yourself. You can help one of your parents clean or do other chores that can be useful. I would also donate old clothes and sneakers to a homeless shelter. You can do a lot of stuff in life without spending any money.

During this Christmas time, I think it is important to make our family and friends feel happy and loved. There are many ways to give without spending money. Christmas isn't always about what you are going to get. Christmas is also about what you are going to give. One way to celebrate Christmas without money is by having quality time with your family. Sometimes, spending time with your loved ones is better than a gift. I don't usually spend time with my family, so this would be something great to do at Christmas because everyone will be high in spirit. Another way to celebrate Christmas without money is to teach something you're good at. For example, my sister is good at arts and crafts, my mom is a good cook, and I play video games. We can use the things we're good at and teach our qualities to each other.

There are numerous gifts I can give to my family and friends without having to spend any money. You see, normally I am locked up in my room and cannot spend as much time as I used to with my extended family due to the Corona Virus. However, we can adapt and overcome this virus by talking to our family through the phone, Zoom meetings, and Facetime. But that only applies to my extended family and my friends. For my immediate family I can watch a movie with them, help my siblings with their homework, and help my dad cook since I know those are one of his hobbies. If we work together in harmony, we can overcome this virus.
