One of the Greatest Gifts

     I know it's a little late for Christmas 2022, but I have one of the greatest gift suggestions ever, for practically any person and any occasion, or for no occasion at all, just because. It is especially a winner for people who are deeply into history, genealogy, and family. 

    How many of us have wished we'd asked more questions and heard more stories from our parents and grandparents when we could, often only realizing it when it's too late? 

     Our immediate nuclear family exchanged Christmas gifts a couple of weeks after Christmas, and I received The Book of Myself, a blank journal of sorts that poses autobiographical questions, and the subject writes his or her own answers, providing a priceless document for family and friends.



    A couple of days ago, I was in a Barnes and Noble and found a whole display of different autobiographical journals to choose from. I guess there's sort of a trend going on. They're not that expensive - practically nothing compared to the value you receive when they are completed - and they may even be on sale after the holidays.  

    

    I think they're perfect gifts that could become priceless family heirlooms. Load up and give them to the people in your life.
