I just love the holidays, good food, good family and presents! It just wouldn’t be Christmas without my grandmother’s cranberry orange salad, my mother’s sweet potato casserole and a myriad of other delicious foods. A close family, we keep expanding almost every year, a marriage here, a baby there. We fill my grandmother’s house. While I think after a point we drive my grandfather crazy, I don’t think he would have it any other way. (Even though he would never admit it.)

 Another of my favorite holiday traditions is shopping. I enjoy picking out the perfect gift for everyone. I always start with a list with gift ideas for each person. If you are still looking for suggestions, read In A Nutshell for some websites to search to figure out the best gifts. You will also learn how to stay safe while shopping on the Internet.

 Typically a busy time of year, this fall is no different. There may be an increase in the number of study requests you receive. Thank you for your continued participation. Also, in November, there was one week during which the compensation mailing was delayed. Please be patient as we get caught up. If your compensation has not arrived by the beginning of December for any job you received e-mail for in November, please let us know. According to our estimation, the delay for most people was no more than a few days.
