As I look out my window at the New York City skyline, the sun shines, yet the air is cold. It's that special time of year again - when the holiday spirit fills the air, and we start thinking about gifts for family, friends, and those who make a difference in our lives. Finding the perfect present can be both exciting and exhausting.
Lately, for me, the best gifts are experiences, those that create lifelong memories. Just a few weeks ago, a friend asked for my advice for a warm-weather tennis resort, and I recommended the Saddlebrook Resort in Florida. I have been there several times and it's always been an extraordinary experience. She then said that a joint trip to Saddlebrook would be her Christmas gift to her best friend. What a great idea.
Saddlebrook Resort is famous for its tough tennis program, influenced by coach Harry Hopman. It's a popular place for both young players and serious adult tennis fans. The resort, opened in 1981 near Tampa, has everything in one place: rooms, restaurants, shops, a big pool, 41 tennis courts, a spa, and more, surrounded by golf courses and houses. It's a beautiful spot with lots of greenery and lakes, and even rare birds live there.
As you are making your holiday gift list, be creative. Sometimes the most cherished gifts are those that offer a chance to create new memories, just like a trip to a place as special as Saddlebrook Resort.
