RE: OT: Not exactly good news...need advice

OMG Christmas shopping. Of course I hadn't thought about that. Aaack!
Oh wait, no worries, I have a computer and a stack of catalogs. Online here
I come. And then there's all those jars of jelly from this summer. I just
need gift bags. Whew that was scary for a minute.

Hope you have your Xmas shopping and decorating done before you do this!
Might be one of the most enjoyable holiday seasons for you- no stress, no
