If anyone on the forum gets a gift they don't want, I'll take it

We have made agreements with some close friends, etc., we aren't going to exchange gifts at Christmas any more, we are going to give that amount of money to someone in need. All we do is buy each other gift certificates for movies or a meal somewhere anyway, I would rather give it to someone standing at an intersection with a sign.

I got Neil Young's book. Man, can he ramble - he'd be a perfect fit here and Chatzy. He's into himself, old cars, lots of Lionel train stuff (I knew that) and pono. No, that's p-o-n-o. Google it. We'll see how that goes...

I have to ask Trench who gets the book first TT.

I went to the Cherry Hill mall here in NJ the day after X-mas to get a San Diego Charger cap at Lids. Thousands of caps and not a single SDC...WTF!

Wanted to get a NY football Giants sweatshirt. Plain and simple right, nope. Must have gone in 5 stores and nobody sells a simple sweatshirt with a simple team logo. Not a zipper down, not a hoodie, not a tee shirt or game shirt or a fleece...but a simple sweatshirt...don't have them.

Macy's ... fire department needs to inspect the entrance. Wide entrance way that is a maze of perfume salespeople, displays, chairs for makeovers, narrow walkway. Doesn't take a genius to see that it's a hazard if there was a stampede of people trying to get out.

Hickory Farm goodies were 50% off.

Christmas was wonderful and the kids were so happy. It started to snow a little when we started to open the presents. We are so blessed and lucky!
