    I start filing wants, that come out in conversation, in the old memory bank in the third quarter of the year. That way, I can get my shopping done early and actually enjoy the holiday.

    In my family we only buy for the kids and now that they are teenagers I usually give them money but I always like to give them some little something. I will usually spend under $10 and try to get them little nail polishes, hair clips, pens, etc... Somebody gave the idea to buy them each flash drives so they can download their music.
