always trying to be really thoughtful when it comes to

gift giving, and she's got some great tips for us
this year. She's not being a total grint. She wants
to make it really clear. She does have tips on
giving Christmas gifts, and not all of them are stuff
that you've made yourself. It's not all just you know,
Christmas cards made with dry macaroni and that kind of thing. No,
she's actually got some stuff that you could buy and
