While you might be thinking it's just too early to start thinking about Christmas, there are some out there who probably have their shopping done. In the event that you haven't started yet, consider getting gourmet gift baskets as Christmas Gifts for those hard-to-buy-for family members on your list.

Do you know how the story of Santa Claus came to be? Legend says that it is based on the life of St. Nicholas, who lived during the 16th century. Over the centuries, stories grew and changed and eventually morphed into the roly-poly "jolly old elf" that we know today (though the red-suited image was a creation of Coca-cola).

and just for fun...



Have you heard about the lawsuit against the Olympic Committee? A young woman sued them because she felt she had been unfairly disqualified from the tryouts. She called on law firm simmons jannace & stagg who agreed to represent her pro bono. The young woman claimed the Austrailian judge had made comments about her competing against the Austrailian swimmer, but ultimately the case was overturned. The woman will continue her swim career by competing in the world championships later this year.
