So, how does one get on your Christmas list? That cinnamon-nutmeg ale sounds very interesting! I love cheese as well. Smile


I seem to get asked that a lot these days! The cinnamon-nutmeg ale started out as a pumpkin ale, but after a few tweaks (and mistakes), it's present variation has become a staple. But at 6.8%, you have to go easy on it! Mr. Green

Why not continue buying them early and mail them at the last minute? Don't you ever have the problem where they buy what you got them, and then they have to return your gift? And... you can't ever buy anything that has to be returned within 30 days (electronics, sometimes movies, music, milk, etc.).



I tried that one year and it drove me mad seeing gifts in the closet in October (the reverse point of thinking), knowing they have to stay there till I mail it in Dec.

So I decided here they are, I did my x-mas shopping, the receipt inside, I done with you all.

The plus side of my way is having several weeks to shop for me. Smile

Also the only way to make my 2 weeks vacation delimma work in to shop early.

I always do my shopping in December. I can't even think about buying Christmas presents in July. I used to work in a retail store and I thought people were absoultly nuts to come in the day after Christmas at 7am to buy Christmas tree lights for next year????? Stay home and enjoy the moment of this years Christmas with your family.
I love the Christmas music on, our tree up and some great baileys and coffee to enjoy wrapping Christmas presents.
