Spouse & I started our Christmas shopping this week. We don't go crazy buying multiple, expensive gifts for our family. (My hair stylist told me he's buying at $500. laptop for each of his 3 kids.) There are too many of them and its just not practical or necessary, so we buy gifts: moderately priced things we think the recipient will like or enjoy. This week we went to our favorite jewelry and accessories store and picked up 4 gifts for the family and 1 gift for my office gift exchange.
We received this as a Christmas card at work from a vendor and I thought it was funny enough to share!
We've had some wild weather fluctuations this week. On Wed it was 70 degrees but a cold front came through overnight and it was only 40 degrees on Thur - a 30 degree difference in less than 24 hours. At least the cold weather makes it finally feel like Christmastime.I saw this posted on facebook and thought it was cute.
I received a small box of chocolates as a gift and noticed the phrase "hand-crafted in small batches" in italics on the box. If the ingredients are the same, does chocolate made in small batches really taste different than chocolate made in large batches?
Now, HERE'S a candidate I could really stand up for!
Why do some people make "realtor" into a 3-syllable word? They pronounce it "real-UH-tor" when the correct pronunciation is "real-tor". I've even heard this on real estate shows on HGTV.
This year I've been vacillating about whether or not to send out my usual load of Christmas cards. Well, today I made a decision: I'm going to send them. One of my concerns was the cost of cards and stamps, and while I can't do anything about the cost of stamps, I was able to find some great deals on cards. Today I got more cards than I'll need and only spent about 1/4 of what I thought I would spend, so I decided to do it. I also took a few minutes today to review and edit my list of recipients. Surprisingly it wasn't as hard as I'd imagined to trim about 15 off the list, and I only added 3 to the list so far. Now all I need is some eggnog to sip while I start my cards.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!

That Rudolph cartoon, it's a Far Side panel. You could say I'm a student of Larson and recognize his work pretty much everywhere.
Ru Paul! Right on!
You talked about the cost of return address labels. You can get sheets of them if you use an inkjet or laser printer - some with designs. You can also choose the font if you're like me (and I suspect in this area you're not) then you can print the recipients names and address too. My hand writing should qualify me to be a doctor. It may take time to set up, but then you have it for the following years and just need to edit.
I've used Avery many times and although it can be a bit touchy, it's worth the effort.
Here's a link if you're interested.
