OMG it's here...the shopping season. When you think about it, it's a lot like hunting season. You go out and plunder the store looking for deals. When you find a deal, you flush it out, then buy it, take it home and wrap it up and give it to the one you love...just like a cave man.
What is this obsession with buying stuff? If you're going to buy stuff, why don't you buy stuff to make stuff, like candy, or cookies or one armed sweaters. Anything you make, even if it gets thrown away is worth so much more than what you go out and purchase that is made in a foreign country increasing our national debt. Seriously, think of the memories and laughs your home made gift will give. It will be remembered for years and be part of the annual Holiday stories that are told.
So forget shopping and make something.

30 Second Manners
The next time you say hello to someone, look them in the eyes. Hello is a greeting; not just a word you blurt out like a sneeze. If you're lucky enough the person you say hello to responds...ask them how they are...sincerely. Sincere is the key word here. You will be amazed at the responses you get. It will open all kinds of doors for you literally.
