I don't know --  maybe we need to find something more controversial(?).
 
Even the queen excluder thing didn't raise this much attention.
 
Oh, here's a suggestion:  Why don't we just cut through the bull and just
celebrate Christmas all year 'round?  Things seem to be progressing that
way.  It wasn't even Halloween yet, and the mall stores were all decked
out.  TV for some time has been all gift ads and Xmas sales already.  Seems
to come earlier every year.
 
More poignantly, anyone doing a good trade in honey/candle gift-packs, mail
order, for instance?  What do they include?  Any suggestions?  Thanks,
JWG
