OMG, those Santa pictures are LOL.
Thanks man, those really are helping me get into the Spirit of the Season.
I've still got two gifts to buy and wrap. One I know what I'm buying, the other remains a mystery to me.
Wish me luck.
brian--
remember, if REALLY stuck for a gift idea, anything that starts with "chia" is a sure-fire winner!
"Cha, cha, cha . . . Chia"
Genius Mr. Dezago, pure genius.
I've actually never gone the Chia route, but the year Old Navy was pushing their "performance fleece" hard with the B List celebs doing the "Old navy, old navy, performance fleece" jingle, I got one of those for my sister-in-law. When she opened it, my 2 brothers and I launched into the jingle and cracked ourselves up.
Ah, good times, good times.
