I admit it. I'm one of those grumbly types who complains about Christmas merchandise showing up in stores before Halloween. No carol singing allowed until after Thanksgiving. No decorations put up until the first weekend of December. Bah, humbug! The one area where I make an exception is shopping. Christmas shopping can be stressful, so if I can pick up a few items throughout the year and store … [Read more...]
