Dear SteeleRedux,

Lovely to hear from you and Thank You for all
your Good Wishes and concern.

Your idea about Christmas gifts is an excellent one
and you and your wife are to be Congratulated.
Unfortunately this year I was in no position to do
what you guys did. I tried to keep it simple for
my husband who did all the Christmas shopping.
So we did go down the "Commercial" road. For the
grand-children "Star-Wars" was the flavour of the month.
Clothes for my mum, and personal gifts (their
requests) for the others.

Hopefully next year we shall be able to do better.
