gifts

It's no secret that I like teddy bears, so naturally I love this video. A New Jersey man found his fiancee's childhood teddy bear, which was in a sad state of disrepair, got it totally fixed and surprised her with it at Christmas. Her reaction is fantastic. Watch for yourself:

It's the time of giving, but one of the questions we have to ask ourselves this time of year is who exactly do we give to?

You have to have noticed that the holiday season gets pushed earlier and earlier every year. My local drugstores had Christmas sections set up at least two weeks before Halloween, when we still had some temperatures well into the 60s. Has it worked?

The office holiday party - it can be a time to let your hair down, have fun with your co-workers, and grab some gifts, or it can be hours of never ending, droll speeches and awkward handshakes and embraces.

Holidays aren't cheap. Especially with all the gadgets high up on wish lists these days. But what would you do if you got over $2000 worth of gadgets by accident, would you fess up?

With the devastation from Sandy still fresh on the minds of everyone in Ocean County and at the Jersey Shore, there's been a lot of generosity as far as donations, volunteering, etc are concerned.

I'll be honest, I'm a fairly impatient person. I don't like waiting for things that I am eagerly anticipating.

Father's Day is quickly sneaking up on us in only 3 more days (if you haven't even gotten a card yet, hurry up, I found out the hard way last night that the good ones are quickly running out!).
