      <description>We received a great gift last year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a target="_blank" href="http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/interstitial-page.jspa?businessUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.heifer.org&amp;referrerUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fsmallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com"&gt;http://www.heifer.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I don't have to display it, dust it, eat it or find a way to toss it out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We all have so much stuff. I have too much stuff. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a great gift for vendors or clients, just remember to order enough cards</description>

      <description>Yes the time to shop for the holidays is December 26.  One can buy holiday gifts after the holiday&lt;br /&gt;
at great saving. If you raise your children to celebrate the holidays on New Years Day, every year,&lt;br /&gt;
one can save large amounts of money. &lt;br /&gt;
Not the true spirit of the holiday's, but will save money.&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>One of the benefits of living away from most of your family is that you can buy holiday gifts after the holiday at deep discounts. My family spends Christmas in the Charlotte area where we currently live but two days after we return home to Maryland where we are from. We can shop for everyone on the 26th and save an amazing amount of money!</description>

      <description>&lt;br /&gt;
We are starting to buy gifts for our son 2 years old, the prices are pretty high for this age. I am wondering what that would be when he will be older &lt;img class="jive-emoticon" border="0" src="http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif" alt=";-)" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hope our e-commerce will generate a lot of orders &lt;img class="jive-emoticon" border="0" src="http://smallbusinessonlinecommunity.bankofamerica.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif" alt=":-)" /&gt;</description>

      <description>It is not that the gift lists are getting longer, the prices of the items wanted are going up. Most of the gifts family/friends wanted this year were over $200.00 each for me.</description>

      <description>&lt;br /&gt;
Yes the gift list is getting longer each year.  It's good for the economy and businesses but as a consumer I can feel it in the wallet.   What I like to do is sometimes give the gift of time - - so instead of buying someone a tangible gift, I like to take people out to lunch or dinner.   This way, it removes the stress of shopping and you can actually spend quality time with people which is what the holidays should be for.</description>

      <description>{font:arial}{size:2}&lt;br /&gt;
It seems like our gift list gets longer every year, while our budget stays pretty much the same. &lt;br /&gt;
Assuming we don't plan on getting&lt;br /&gt;
into credit card debt over all this fun and frivolity - and we don't -what to do?{size}{font}</description>
