Hi Daryl!

 DS>   I wanted to get an early start on the Christmas shopping in
 DS> July. <G>
 BM> Some people do!  I don't get into the mood for Christmas shopping until
 BM> November -- and that's putting it a little tight as for years we have
 BM> had a "Family Christmas" a week or two before the 25th as we were in
 BM> retail and combination of easier all around not to have it during the
 BM> last-minute shopping rush and could have the holiday off and not
 BM> prepare a big dinner, host a gift exchange, etc.
 DS>   Start your Christmas shopping for next year on Dec. 26. <G>

Some people probably do!  If the gift recipient isn't one needing the 
'latest and greatest' last year's Dec. 26th specials could be bargain
gifts for the following Dec. 25th.  I was generally working (retail) so 
couldn't participate, just want to go home after my shift, and don't 
plan ahead that far.



 DS> ... Never stand between a dog and a fire hydrant.
 BM> Oh I do it all the time: the dog and the hydrant aren't at all close!
 DS>   Details, details. <G>

That's right!
