Was it 2008, 2009, or 2010?
Answer: 2008!
I don’t know and I don’t care one way or the other.
Surviving the Holidays
When it comes to shopping for gifts... men are the worst. Men push the deadline, bargain less, and spend too much. 10% of guys plan to wrap up their Christmas shopping when? Yes, on Christmas Eve. For women it's 3.6% (probably buying something for their guy to take to his mom!). Of course, is this survey telling us something we don't already know?
If you're worried you'll gain weight over the holidays... you will. Get over it. In fact, a new Jenny Craig survey found 47% of women gain four to five pounds during this time of year. A strategy for cutting back on the treats: Fill up on lower-density foods like a big salad.
But it's not just the treats that pad the waist - it's the stress. 66% of women admit that once the weather gets colder, they get less active. Experts suggest finding a buddy for motivation and take a lunchtime walk.
Facebook/Phones: You've worked hard all year to keep the weight off...what's your strategy this month?
How to NOT breakup come January... Christmas is so magical. The lights, the music, the gifts...and then it's done. What now? Break up! No, wait, don't break up like so many do in January. Here's how to prevent that courtesy of YourTango:
- Plan time now for just the two of you
- Plan your conversation around these three themes - Gift giving, family time, and couple time.
- Deal with what comes up (take care of problems as they happen)
- Keep the conversation open (encourage honesty)
- Deal with the dealbreakers (If it can't be saved, start unwinding the relationship early. Don't be blindsided in January)
Favorite 80's holiday movies... what's your favorite? Here are a few good ones (courtesy: Babble.com.

Facebook/Phones: What are we missing?
Kids these days...
It appears grandparents are doing what grandparents do -- complain about their kid's kids. They don't like how you're raising your kids at all. In fact, your "liberal ways" are leading to bad table manners and bad school behavior.
It wasn't like that back in their day! 92% say when they were kids, they ate dinner with their families. Today they say only 54% of children sit down with their families.
Today just 49% ask if they can be excused from the dinner table -- back "in the day" it was 89%.
What's really taken a hit is the good old fashion 'thank you' letter. 86% of grandparents were told to write one when they were kids vs. 35% of kids today.
Facebook/Phones: If you can narrow it down to just one, what is the biggest problem with "kids these days."
