Over 40,000 shoppers attend some holiday extravaganzas. If you must hit the stores, plan to arrive early (even before the doors open). You'll be ready for your best shopping experience possible! Conversely, try for an online holiday. You won't be able to touch before you buy, but you'll save on gas, parking, and aggravation!


With football season underway, Sundays can become stressful as animated crowds gather in front of the TV. Grab your favorite gametime snack, and use the time to keep tabs on your favorite fantasy team ... all the while seated comfortably on your sofa! You will be the queen (or king) of cool all day long.


Avoid those last minute stressors. Where's your pet spending the holidays while you're out of town? Why not buy your holiday meal rather than cook it? Schedule airport pickups and dropoffs now so there's no last-minute scramble! You will have a successful holiday this year!


November is traditionally blustery, but don't let that keep you from your walk. Add a muffler to your ensemble and get out there! You will feel better, and the cold-weather blues will be banished to the backside of tomorrow!
