Calendars for one. Calendars for all!

Every year, I am challenged by the holiday season. It's hectic, and it's expensive. Yet it's supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year. Having four kids, I put on a happy face every year and try to make the season as magical for them as I can. A fairly new tradition of my extended family is to draw names, rather than to buy gifts for everyone. This has reduced quite a bit of stress for me. However, since I have six in my family, I'm still on the hook for finding six gifts for people who really already have everything they want and need. This year, two of the names on my list happen to be Grandma & Grandpa. Also this year, I started working with this really cool photo shop here in B/N. The calendars at JMC are going to be the hit of our gift opening ceremony (there's always an unofficial competition to be the one who gave the most clever gift). Grandma's and Grandpa's love nothing more than grandkids. With a few pics and a little time in the Photo Cafe, I'll be well on my way this year to finishing my shopping and winning that competition on Christmas. Now, what to get those four kids? I know! Calendars for their lockers...see you in the Photo Cafe!
