Idiom of the Week – It’s the Thought That Counts

Are you buying any holiday gifts? Remember, “it’s the thought that counts,” this week’s idiom meaning the kindness of the gift is what is important, not the gift itself. The time spent trying to do something nice for someone else is what matters.

For example, “My son tried to cook me dinner for my birthday, but it came out burned. I appreciate him trying though. It’s the thought that counts.”
