Christmas Gift Ideas

We noticed a recent uptick of incoming junk mail, which always signals the approach of Christmas Hanukah the Holiday Season The Celebration of the Winter Solstice. And with this season of officially mandated good cheer we look forward with joy to cranky children dragged through malls, parking lot fender-benders, broken toys, flaming Christmas trees, and drunken reveling.

Sometimes cruise tickets, jewelry, a little something from Victoria's Secret, or the latest toaster oven touches the little lady to her core.
