Gifts for Her - Keeping out of trouble on the ‘Night before Christmas' There is something deeply uncomfortable for a man meeting a male colleague in the women's lingerie section of a department store. The chances are that he is there Christmas gift shopping as well, but such encounters always lead to a niggling doubt as you meet over the water-cooler in the New Year! Most men, it has to be said, still view shopping as a form of torture and the annual enforced route march around the High Street stores and out of town shopping centres does little to dispel this impression. Our wives and girlfriends may view this as a practice run for the January sales, but we can usually think of better things to be doing on a Saturday afternoon.The result is of course that we come up against the night before Christmas, ill-prepared and distinctly anxious. Only then do we realise that we should have paid more attention to the open catalogues that our better halves have left subtly around our homes in the previous couple of months, not to mention the in-explicable pauses, sighs and long stares outside certain shops.

Three Surefire Ways to Sell Your Property Come Spring The definition of crazy is doing the same thing time after time and expecting different results. Year after year real estate agents significantly reduce or stop their online marketing campaigns during the winter months and as a result their sales drop as well and they scramble to recover in the spring. In an age where the vast majority of consumers in America are always "connected" it is crucial for agents trying to sell farm and ranch properties to have an online presence.This year I urge you to try a new approach. Retain, or even vamp up, online marketing during the winter months! Put your farm and ranch property in front of the thousands of eye-balls that have nothing better to do than sit at home and browse the net as winter weather and holiday gatherings keep them indoors. Although weather and festive engagements might keep potential buyers from actively pursuing the properties they are interested in, rest assured that your investments will not go to waste. The average turn around for real estate properties is 5-7 months so keeping your properties up during the winter will give them plenty of time gain interest. Come...more
