I spent all my gift money on relief work for that, and told my family that was their gift to the world. <BR/><BR/>It was perfect, because my mom caught on and bought a lot of animals through Heifer Intl. on the family's behalf afterwards. <BR/><BR/>Latest gift craze here: buying CO2 offsets for loved ones.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572632408227474066.post-73188656455825842212008-12-16T00:47:00.000-08:002008-12-16T00:47:00.000-08:00Seriously?
