\nME: Oh, for the kids’ Christmas present!
\nHE: *Nod his head indicate can buy*<\/span><\/p>\n
So now you\u00a0get\u00a0what I meant by good reason to shop and spend? I have a collection of stuff which I bought over the time whenever I spotted a good bargain and nice stuff.

Any recommendation?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Crossing away each box on my table calendar. Looking forward to reach the box with number\u00a019 in the month of December.
