LAST MINUTE GIFTS IDEAS:
We saw an article on MSN suggesting that drugstores make a decent last minute gift buying location.  Digital cameras starting as low as $10 (up to $100, even brand names). Desktop speakers (about $20), and even sunglasses ($10-$20).

The one that caught our eye was the Portable USB Charger.  A person can plug it into the SmartPhone, and they can add sixty hours of talk time to their phone (pending the type of phone they have).  That's pretty cool, but we caution you on one thing.  Make sure you give it to some you like talking to.  They may choose you as the person they burn those sixty hours on.

SAN FRAN BESTS ATL IN MNF:
Colin Kaepernick threw for one score and ran for another and NaVorro Bowman returned an interception 89 yards for a touchdown with 1:10 to play, as the 49ers beat the Atlanta Falcons, 34-24, in the last regular season game at Candlestick Park in San Francisco. The Niners (11-4) clinched an NFC playoff spot as a result of the victory.

CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD:
How do you have a very Japanese Christmas? Well, you copy a lot of American traditions, and add a bit of love into the mix. Christmas is not an overtly religious holiday in the Land of the Rising Sun. Rather, it’s a time for children’s parties and, on Christmas Eve, a time for couples to spend a romantic evening together. Oddly enough, the traditional Yuletide meal in Japan is Kentucky Fried Chicken. Really, that’s not a joke. Families order their buckets of bird parts well in advance of Christmas in order to beat the holiday rush.
