Believe It or Not….Christmas Begins Today!

I’m off! It’s Christmastime! Did you realize that? The Christmas season officially began today…at least in retailing world it did!

The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.                                                      Robert Frost I usually end up putting an outfit together in the morning, but the pitfalls of that is time…can’t…
