I’m tired. Really quite exhausted actually. So I’m just feeling too lazy to search the internet galaxy for bizarre bargains to bestow upon your brethren. Instead, I shall gift you with a countdown of my ten most favorite holiday movies (#1 being the absolute most gotta watch movie for Christmas). Pick one off the list…
Ever been to a White Elephant party? They are a lot of fun – you don’t go out and buy anything, oh no – you simply peruse your house for items that have been sitting around for God knows how long, and that you would just love to get rid of, but can’t because it…
Mary may have an immaculate conception, but she still had to carry that babe around for 9 months before her big night in the manger. So…what gifts might Mary have enjoyed if she was an expectant Mama in the 21st century? Me? I’d be happy with massages, pedicures, and tea – but I though you…
Christmas Gift Idea Day #8: It’s always fun to see little kids open gifts in spasms of energetic delight and delighted ecstasy, but it’ harder to get such a response from the older set.

So, I’m a bit backlogged on the present list here…things have been a tad hectic – and one of the main issues I’ve been dealing with is a sick canine. I am a dog owner – I just have never had the dog I own live with me…when I bought the dog I was in…
Christmas Gift Idea Day 12: Well, Jesus is the reason for the season, as they say. Which makes this just about the most perfect Christmas gift ever: the Talking Jesus Doll. He talks (including 25 pre-programmed phrases) and comes with his own Certificate of Authenticity…I’m not sure about the walking on water thing – you’ll…
I tried, I really tried to avoid it…but I can’t control myself any longer. Where is there one surefire place to find tacky, useless gifts for all and sundry? Lillian Vernon. Where can you get anything and everything from a toilet seat to a garden gnome personalized? Lillian Vernon. Who resembles, at worst a cult…

Hanukkah Present Day 4: A Hanukkah Ham!!! You may be thinking, “Well, what could be wrong with a perfectly nice ham for the holidays?” Apparently this was the same thought of a fancy food store in Greenwich Village NY, who posted signs advertising that their hams were “Delicious for Hanukkah!” Someone finally took mercy and…
Hanukkah Day 3: Shlock Rock Now, I thought listening to the band at my cousin’s wedding perform Men At Work’s Land Down Under in Yiddish was a once in a lifetime experience, but apparently, I can relive the delight of that memory. Their most recent release (the 27th!) includes parodied versions of hits from Green…
