Notes

• As we head into the rush and craziness of December in a consumer economy ... stop and remember that it is not how much money we spend on someone that really counts.  Here's an idea for a gift that your family will remember forever, and I've done this so I can tell you that after a decade, they still talk about this. 
  
  If you're handy with a computer ... or have a friend who is ... make up your own wine bottle labels.   Purchase wine of your choice (or if you have homemade, even better) [soak the labels off pre-purchased wine] and apply your own label.  Now ... if you can make up a two or three paragraph story to go along with the wine, that makes it even better.  In one case, my brother had styled himself the unofficial mayor of a small hamlet where we grew up, so I made up a label for that.  In another year, I made one up to go with the family dairy business.  In another, I made up a funny history for the family of my husband.  Like I said .. about three paragraphs long.  Wine under $10 each ... memories forever.
