Most Unique Christmas Gift

Most Unique Christmas Gift

It is the most unique Christmas gift ever. Read on to find out what it is. Family time during Christmas is one of the best gifts you can give. Not everyone has their loved family there for the holidays. It is a happy and yet sad time of the year for many people. This is why I encourage you to pay it forward and do something to cheer someone up for the holidays. Be a part of something bigger than yourself. You will not regret it.

The Story 

She went out to the garage to find the Christmas decorations to put up. She stumbled on an old box with her husband’s old items in it. It was years ago when she shoved things in the box to help her work through her grief quicker. There is usually that one special person in your life (family or not) who loves Christmas and will go to great lengths to decorate their home inside and out. It is a wonderful time of the year, for giving and sharing many memories. To continue this story, this lady who went to look for decorations, found an old shirt that smelled like her husband and remembered him wearing it to the many football games he went to see his son play. Ah, the power of memories is so amazing to me.

As she pulled out the decorations, and put them on the tree, they were each a reminder of the good times they had together when married. It is up to you to make the most of the holidays during difficult times. You can either grow better, or bitter over things you have lost. Sometimes you do not know what you have until it is gone. The woman in our story, thought about something that her late husband loved and decided to celebrate his life and memories, and get him a Christmas present this year. It was a present with life in it, as a form of keeping her husband alive. It was a present that he had an interest in himself, and something that the children have been begging for since the beginning of the year. It was a puppy.

Keep Memories Alive

Keep memories alive with the most unique Christmas gift. Her husband loved dogs. He also loved many other things. This is when this woman decided it was time to teach her children more about who their dad was, now that the were old enough to understand. It has also been many years since her husband passed away, so they have had enough time to grieve over the years. Now, she wanted to celebrate his life (who passed away 15 years ago), and teach their children more about what life was like when their dad grew up and the legacy he left for his family.

Make a Legacy Time Capsule 

She opened up the Legacy Time Capsule. He grew up in a military family. He was in the military himself, serving our country for our freedom. The kids missed him many times when he was gone, but knew he loved his job. There were many video phone calls from a distance as he was away in another country. She started to read about where he grew up as a little boy, what school he went to, and what subjects he enjoyed. There were funny and embarrassing stories of him as a kid too. She then pulled his military, and everyday favorite mementos and memorabilia out of the Legacy Time Capsule. There were “Message to the Future” letters that he wrote to each child and his wife. The Legacy Time Capsule really is the most unique Christmas gift ever. What do you think about it?

The night ended with the family making their dad’s favorite recipes together, including his famous chili recipe that he kept in the Legacy Time Capsule. This is such a fun, heartfelt, enduring and unique gift that every family needs. Make this holiday season special, by making a Family Time Capsule or let us know what you think of this Legacy Time Capsule idea, as we are working on this new project now.
