Christmas shopping 2012 – start early!
I still believe
This was written in December 2005, some four months after Hurricane Katrina. I couldn’t sleep last night, so many things on my mind and I couldn’t shut it off. I had a moment of panic when I realized it was Christmas Eve and I hadn’t bestowed a single thought on a certain jolly old elf.......
My Personal Yule Ritual

Christmas Classics – The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry
One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies.

Three times Della counted it.......
