Christmas week is here.

G'day everyone.

Finally, the week to Christmas has finally arrived. It is just 4 days to Christmas. This is 4 days when stores will do their utmost to hold SALES and BARGAINS to happen. A good deal, no? Well, I wouldn't count on it. Be careful of what you buy this week. The WHITE DAY, the day after Christmas sales, don't count on your "friendly" store to take it back. Retailers are trying to dispose their saleable goods at this time of the week. But as I would tell you, shop around this week. Make a mental note of what will be on SALE on FRIDAY during the WHITE DAY sale (Day after Christmas Sale). You could find gifts to give for birthday, special day, etc.

Meanwhile, I want to give a reminder to college students who are still stuck in many major snowed in airports right now. Just remember, it is YOUR FAULT! Why? This is a time of the year when Winter storms get at their worst stage. You may be so focused on classes, friends, beer, and sex. But that's really NO EXCUSE FOR IT! We live in a world where danger happens at almost any time of the day. So take time to read your email. Watch the news. Talk to your RA. Keep an eye on the weather. As long as you do that, you will never again find yourself stuck in where you are. I've helped one mom trying to frantically get her son home. I gave out ton of advice. Had he left on Amtrak yesterday, he'd be home already. But a fruitless while of stand by ticking, he finally broke down and brought a late afternoon ticket. Safe, sound, and more wiser he is. But, please, make it a daily habit. Watch the news, listen to your RA, read your emails. Weather can be just as dangerous as a terrorism attack on a moment's notice. For those of you still stuck in that airport right now, check the Amtrak and bus stations. Good luck.

and I concur that he has a very good suggestion this week. GO FOR IT!!!

Well, another storm is coming around again. Just ready for it. Loved last Friday. Fire up the old snow blower and CHOOM.. chunk of snow goes flying. In many places it will be a WHITE Christmas for sure.
So don't forget: 4 Shopping days left!

Semper (holiday) FI!
