Christmas Countdown - Tying Up the Loose Ends

So, it isn't the twelve days to Christmas, but if you have a list, and you probably do, it's the "don't forget" count down to the big day.

Let me offer some last minute suggestions: Have you thought about all the batteries you'll need? There are so many types of batteries, large and small, you might not have what you need on hand. While you're at it, try getting re-chargeable batteries (with a charger). Chargers are smaller and less expensive than they used to be. Start now to do your part to save the environment.

How about checking to make sure you have USB cables for new printers (they're usually not included), extension cords, memory cards for cameras, surge protectors, and the correct wattage light bulbs to accompany your gifts. There are fewer things more frustrating than not being able to use a gift on Christmas because something's missing and the stores are closed.
