Time to stuff those stockings with trinkets that will make all merry and will save your wit ‘n wallet from stress ‘n strain. So for those like me who have neither the time nor the desire to shop till you drop, I’ve put together a variety of ‘stuff’ to put in those stockings. Good news: much of the stuff can be found in one place, phoned in or ordered on line. Happy days!
