Shop ‘Til Ya Drop?

Holiday ShoppingHas anyone considered making holiday shopping an Olympic sport? Think about it! It requires crazy competitiveness, tests skill and stamina, and takes years of training to win! Heck, in some ways holiday shopping is even more difficult than some Olympic events. After all, what other athletes are asked to reach peak performance when they’re still full of tryptophan?!

Personally, I tend to avoid going anywhere near stores when people are going that nuts, though I do tend to exercise my index finger by clicking away on Cyber Monday. I also tend to get a little wannabe Martha Stewart and make special gifts for people, like bundles of baked goodies.

What about you? What are some of the things you’re specifically shopping for this year? What do you tend to hand-make? Take our poll and share some stories and specifics in the comments below!

What's your holiday shopping approach?

Poll: Turkeys in Disguise

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I’m sure everyone’s got a lot on their proverbial plates. This is a time for getting packed to travel, putting grocery shopping lists together, and tying up loose ends at work before the long weekend.

But if you were a turkey, all you’d be thinking about is how to survive. And I’m not talkin’ the way we try to keep it together through Mom’s guilt trips, grandpa’s embarrassing questions or drunk uncle’s flailing insanity.

Here are some turkeys who are taking matters into their own wing-hands rather than waiting for their fate to be decided for them.

Which turkey is more likely to escape for Thanksgiving?

A Special Salute to Veterans

We Salute You

Last year, my grandfather passed away. We had never been all that close; my father and he and a complicated relationship. At his funeral, my grandfather – a World War II veteran – was honored with a military burial. Now, add to the distance between us the fact that I’m not an overt sentimentalist, and you’ll understand why it took me a bit by surprise just how moved I was.

I’m an avid reader reader about war in general, and I’m a “Band of Brothers” obsessive. But it never occurred to me to reach out to talk to my grandfather about his time of service. More >
