NY/NJ-based readers can take heart. It's not over 'til it's over, and it's not over yet. You still have a few hours to shop local for gifts, greeting cards, and holiday decorations. Or, you can just think of Christmas as a season and not worry about having everything in order by December 25. That's the way I do it, with apologies to everyone who follows the calendar more precisely!

Speaking of calendars, here are a couple that would make nice gifts for the people like me in your life. (We won't mind getting it after Christmas.)

All best,

Linda
