[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

Free Printable button to print out on a sheet of paper, trim with scissors and pin on when you go CHRISTMAS shopping. If they don't serve you well, put the stuff back on the shelf (don't abandon carts, that's not an example of RIGHTEOUS indigation) and tell them why.

KEEP YOUR RECEIPTS because the Culture War isn't over...and most stores allow cash refunds after Christmas with receipts. Most only allow exchanges (no cash) without the receipt. Beware the fine print of some nonrefundable 'gift certificates' though!

No need to rush to pagan purveyors tomorrow--that is their idea, not yours. Consider what gifts you could give that are bought not with cash but instead with time and love.

Other ideas and resources at the site below although the site hasn't been updated recently.

Please Wish Me A Merry Christmas!

[Cindy]

A blessed Christmas to you The Spirit of Allegiance and I am thankful today that we can still say that.

Thank you for the button.

Is that like burning your house down to get the mice out of the attic?

How about a nice sweater?
This looks like a real bargain:

I’m looking for online deals (because I hate crowds)...but lucked on a few sites where I order things that are running free shipping specials, so I’ll order now for use later.

http://www.cybermonday.com/ (this site has free shipping promotions for Lands End and KMart...to name a couple. Also ProFlorwers has some great deals if you need to send flowers to anyone.)

http://www.centralvacuumstores.com (they sell DIY kits for home improvement like CVS, intercoms, ironing systems, but I order bags, or replacement tools for our system, plus pads for my ironing system. They’ve lowered their shipping costs for the weekend, so why not save myself some money and order now)

[Cindy]

Those look like good links.

Thank you so much Dawn.
