Begin your Christmas shopping here

With Christmas right around the corner, I thought it might be fun to tell you some of my favorite websites to explore and shop. Maybe at one of the sites you will find yourself in an "ah-ha!" moment where you all the sudden find the perfect gift for a hard-to-buy-for person? And if not, well, it will just give you something to do when you find yourself in need of some website surfing to pass the time. Enjoy.
