 Happy
Thanksgiving Day?
I can't believe it's already thanksgiving season. Where did this
year go? My family has had a wonderful year, and I am thankful for that. My
oldest graduated academy, and is off to college, and my youngest is happily
enjoying everything that comes her way, including oboe lessons, soccer
practices, and school projects.
How has this year been for you? And what are you thankful for? I
hope you have many reasons to celebrate tomorrow.
This is a very important reminder! I
moved the newsletter to a new server, and this will be the very last one you'll
receive here. I already sent everyone an invitation, and you need
to reply to that email. If you can't find my invitation, you can sign up at the
sign up page here.
Until next time,

Tips for Making Holiday Shopping a Breeze
Weary of the hassle of holiday shopping? Many shoppers line up
for hours on end to get a deal on the hottest toy of the season, or newest
fashion craze, then there are those who dread shopping and just put it off until
the last minute, or give gift certificates to get out of shopping altogether.
Holiday shopping doesn’t have to be a hassle. It can be quickly
executed without so much stress and anxiety, if you plan ahead. Try these tips
to make your holiday shopping a breeze this year:
-
Set a budget in place. Do you know how much money you can
afford to spend on gifts? If not, sit down right now and make that budget.
This will be a huge time-saver in the end.
-
Make your list; check it twice. Create a list of who you
need to buy gifts for this year. Start with family first, then add friends,
co-workers, etc. How does this list look, compared with your budget? Too
long? Pare it down. Despite what you think, you don’t have to buy as many
gifts as you think you do. Trim your list until you have it down to a
reasonable number.
-
What do they like? Now that you know who you will be buying
gifts for, start thinking about what these people like. You may already have
a good idea of what kinds of things they like. If not, do some snooping and
find out. Make a shopping list of these things for each person.
-
Shop early. If possible try to avoid the last minute rush
and shop early. Another good option is to go late at night. Many department
stores operate late hours during the holidays. It’s a good time to leave the
kids with your spouse and do the shopping on your own without worrying about
the crowds or the kids needing to be fed or changed.
-
Shop online. Now that you know exactly what you need to buy,
start by shopping online. You can find lots of good deals on auction and
discount sites. Many online shops such as
Amazon.com give you the option of
mailing out your gifts (gift wrap included) to relatives and friends, this
could save you a lot of time wrapping presents and fighting the crowds at
the post office. Shopping online could save you a lot more money than you’d
think, and it will definitely save you the hassle of fighting those
Christmas crowds!
