I prefer in-person shopping....imagining how the receiver will enjoy the gift...it's tacticle and personal. Only order online to get a 'better' price break.

Truly! We went from ordering from a catalog to ordering once again. Where is the magic of shopping? How can I try on pages and pages of boring lists!

Flicked that nail of my finger, I guess. Thanks, Ilene, and Happy Chanukah to you and yours too!

Hello Gershon, I really liked the way you captured that quick shift, holiday shopping as just a flick of the finger. The couplet carried a nice punch, leaving me thinking about how fast things change. Holiday Blessings, Gershon, Daniel

Well, I like to go into stores sometimes just to see what is available. Even though every muscle (if you could call them that), joint, disc, bone in my body seems to hurt, but shopping is still good. LOL..Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Good for you. As for me, I get lazier by the day. Fatter too. Oh, well...
