Christmas Idea

Rather than buying Mothers and Fathers new smelly stuff and golf gear, buying nephews and nieces action toys and dolls, sisters and brothers CDs and books and dvds, I have decided to come up with a more valuable and important gift for each of the above members of my family.

A handmade card with the message "Merry Christmas. My gift to you this year is this card and a contribution to reversing the current credit crunch. Love, Jeff"


A tight-fisted Scotsman? Me? Not at all, I'm just faithfully doing my bit in these troubling times.


And hey, if I lump everyone together in the same card, then I'm saving paper and, consequently, the environment.


What a team-player I am.






PS Incase anyone gets the wrong idea, not only am I doing extensive Christmas shopping today but I'm also watching It's a Wonderful Life for the first time to top my festive mood right up to the max.
