Christmas is coming! Ugh! My children have been a help in keeping me a bit focused, doing the seasonal tasks that need doing. It's the shopping that I hate.

I sat in the quiet of the living room yesterday afternoon and thought to myself that I should be out shopping for gifts. I have not bought anything yet for one son, I spent less than 10 for something (that I bought online) for the other son, and I have three small items for the wife (one of which I bought online) - although in fairness I did buy her something (online) that has already arrived and that I have already given her.

Question about the turkeys... you said it was a picture from a month ago? Why so old, do they not look like that now, are they fricaced?
...you know, cash always fits and always the right color!
Just tell us if you are visited by any Spirits.
