Uncle Nick's Gift Ideas

I'm so stuffed after our feeding frenzy on Thanksgiving I can hardly think. I don't know about you, but I just need a week to chill out. I have to be in shape to go over my holiday shopping list.

This might sound strange, but now I can understand what my mom meant when she would tell us "just wait until you reach my age . . ." though she still kept on going. Mom was "the" energizer bunny of the 50's and 60's.

She loved entertaining and all that went with it -- she was the quintessential hostess for every holiday and any family event that called for a gathering. It's funny, but when I think back she taught me more than I realize.

It is most evident today as our lives have become complicated and are intertwined with extended families. Entertaining today takes on a new life very unlike it was back in the day.

So be it, we have to change with the times. I now realize I have less time to do more for the holidays and I'm sure I'm not alone.

I had an AHHHH! HA! moment and decided to list a few shopping deals that just might free up some time for you and help you to shop stress free. And of course, save money.

We have embraced shopping on-line in this age of technology, though I personally have only started about a year ago. It was a life-changing experience for me and so unlike my holiday shopping way back 'in the day'.

Now I purchase many of my wines from and MyWinesDirect.com and wine.com.* It is always easy and their sites are very user friendly.
