Best of luck in your new digs! I managed to get the gift shopping over with
early on, as I pick stuff up all year and put it aside, it was just the food
that I shorted out on... next year, I'll be cooking ahead of time and freezing
things so I haven't got to set foot near the grocery stores in the two weeks
before the holidays...it just gets too crazy!
