Thanks for the helpful tips on shopping for Christmas. I would also add that much of the stress at this time of year comes from putting the emphasis on commercialism and buying instead of what this Holy Holiday was meant to be, The birthday of our lord and savior Jesus Christ upon this earth in the flesh. If you put less effort into buying and more into worshiping the stress of the season will fade away and it will be replaced buy a spiritual well being. I have found this to be very true but if you have children some buying is unavoidable because tiny children are more likely to believe their friends than mommy and daddy especially when getting gifts. That is the fun part for any child. Putting Christmas into proper perspective is a step in the right direction.Keep buying to a minimum. The new year will begin on the right foot. Best wishes to you and yours. Forrest.
