Time and

talents

The spirit of Christmas does not have to focus on money. “If your gift list is growing longer, while your money is shrinking away, you need to take control,” said Ruth H. Lytton, Virginia Tech Extension specialist in family economics.

“Although your material resources may be depleted, you can use your human resources for gifts,” said Lytton, who is a member of the faculty of Virginia Tech’s College of Human Resources.

For example, do you have any special talent or skill which you could share with someone on your gift list? Give a gift of lessons on how to play a musical instrument, or a popular sport. Not only will you save yourself some money, but you will iave the pleasure of sharing something you have taken the time to earn.

If teaching is not feasible, give a jift certificate of your skills. Offer to ill out a tax form, give a hair cut, or . ;une-up a car. Give a certificate, ligned by you, at the gift-giving ime. “Even if you don’t have any spe^ :ial talents to share, you can give rour time and energy,” said Lytton. lelping with everyday chores can »e a welcome eift.
