A few days before Christmas, I don’t think I’ve ever had less shopping left.. it certainly feels good to be a bit in advance, hopefully it’s the same for you:) I’m certainly looking forward to taking a few days off… I wish almost everyone the same.. those trying to get a fiscal cliff need to keep working, it’s a bit depressing that Boehner could not even pass his own plan through last night.. if he can’t get Republicans on his side, how in the world could Democrats work out a deal with the GOP?…
