The Gift that Really Keeps on Giving

It's that time of year - ho ho ho and mistletoe, egg nog and....the crowds, the pushing, the shoving, the shopping - alot of times for things no one really wants or needs - and then there come the credit card bills. Yikes! Is that how Christmas is really supposed to be? Or Chanukah, or Kwanzaa? If you ask me - and you're reading this so you did ask me ;-) - it's not even close. None of these holidays were ever intended to become what we see today. You might agree but maybe you don't know how to end that crazy cycle you and your family are hooked on.

I've got a solution for you. #1 DO THE OPPOSITE. Don't go crazy buying things people don't need - you know Uncle Mike doesn't really want that gift cologne/after shave package from Walmart, don't you? Don't rack up credit card bills you will regret when January comes and you are wondering why you don't have more money in your savings account. Don't get into it with the lady who just grabbed the last Wii for her grandson! JUST STOP.

#2 THINK. Think about what you want. What is the vision you have for this season? Fun with friends? Checking out the lighting displays? Or maybe it's bigger. Maybe you want to help someone but you just don't know how. Here at BellaGia Services we have an idea for you. Check it out -

Instead of buying stuff no one needs and paying for it for the rest of the year while you watch that same stuff end up in your or their yard sale (trust me, that's what I'll be doing in January - getting your stuff out of their house) why not do something worthwhile? Why not give something that will actually make a difference - in your life, in their lives and in the life of an orphan?

This December from today until Christmas BellaGia Services will donate 20% of our profits to Kings Ransom Foundation. www.kingsransomfoundation.org They are building an orphanage in Belize where 40 kids are packed into a 4 bedroom house. We have an opportunity to be a part of something bigger than us and we are choosing to step out in faith, help these kids get a new home and help our clients do something truly important this season.

If you want to get your - or a friends or relatives - place decluttered, if you want to have even just a room that is organized so you know where your things are and can find them when you need them (not two hours later!), if you want to help put a roof on an orphanage and you want to have a great time doing it (ask our clients - we always have a blast!) - get your gift certificate ASAP! Let's start 2012 knowing we have made a difference and bucked the system. Are you "in" or are you "out"?

Blessings for this Christmas and holiday season,
