The greatest gift you can give your kids is a mother who doesn't drink.

Seriously think about this. Take a moment to reflect on why this is true. Sure, they may want an iPhone or Legos or whatever else they're into. I know for my 10-year-old son, these are on his list and Xbox games, but this post isn't about me.

We can get our kids all the material things in the world, and they eventually grow out of it or play with it for a month, then it sits in the back of the closet. I've spent hundreds of dollars on gifts that my son only played with once. And yet, I never learn when the holiday season rolls around again and again. Ugh.

There is one gift though that doesn't cost a thing, and I can GUARANTEE that your kids will think it's the best gift ever, not just for the holidays, but all year round. You not drinking is the greatest gift you can ever give them.

Imagine being present for the moments with our kids that we can't get back.

Imagine your kids being proud of you for not drinking. Because newsflash they are. My son makes a big deal out of my milestones, and it really is the cutest thing ever.

Imagine showing them that it's ok to go against the grain and to screw peer pressure. Crazy how we still get pressured to drink even into adulthood, but you can show them that you don't have to follow the crowd no matter what.

Our kid's notice and are more observant than we give them credit for. You may not think they notice when we're drunk, but they do.

Is that the example you want to set for them?
Do you want them to think that you drink because of them? Because let's be honest, that's the narrative that we hear all the time. I can't take my kids, so I'm just going to have a drink. Imagine being a kid and hearing that. Yikes.

Give your kids the greatest gift you can this holiday season by not drinking.
