Print issue arrived 10/12

Fast service from Australia and my wife immediately asked for the stamp. I read through the entire thing in about two hours. Very impressive, but I am glad the pdf content is the same as I can enlarge the print size on my computer. I find it much easier to read a computer screen than anything in print.
Thanks for your ideas regarding Christmas trees and decorations. Here is another approach you might want to consider for your area.
Where we live, there is an annual Christmas fundraiser done for a local college. It involves decorating about a dozen Christmas trees and then auctioning them off to local business people, etc. They also open up the display for a weekend or two with a charge to the general public to come view. Clearly there is some major promotion going on here and "good cause" arm twisting. But I wonder how much goes to the actual decorators.
Incidentally, there is a large wholesale trade show in Atlanta every January which has 9 foors of nothing but Christmas items. And that's just in one building of 3. My wife has been a few times and they "shop" 10 hours a day for 5 or 6 days. Chances are, someone is selling the "kits" there. My wife says you really don't have to go to the show to get the wholesale prices, but the alternative means spending hours looking at cataloges.
