Here’s an idea I had. Inevitably, each Christmas, with our disjointed family strewn across the nation, there’s a high probablility of overlap in gifts. Sometimes we get two of the same thing, maybe we give a gift awfully similar to another’s, or maybe someone doesn’t get that special gift they wanted because everyone else thought that someone else was going to get it for them. Well why don’t we have a little Gift Registry site for the family? Everyone gets their own personal login where they can enter in their suggested list of holiday loot. They can also see the other family member’s wish lists where they can opt to tag a wish list item, laying claim to it so that no one else doubles up and gets it or something similar. There’d also be a spot to enter in any other gifts that you’re getting that person, gifts that weren’t on their wish list. (you get extra points for those ones).

Now this may be a guys perspective on holiday gift buying… or it may just be me, but I thought it’d make the season a little easier to get through. Whaddya think?

-oh, btw, Christmas is in September… football season started today with the Redskins stopping the Jets.

-and by the way, again… I’ll try to get the comments pages a little more presentable.
