You mean you haven't finished your shopping?
I know, you're thinking 'Oy vey, why does he keep writing about Christmas in October?' Well, funny you should ask. Aside from the fact that November is ready to park itself on your sofa and demand a glass of Zinfandel, I'm talking about Christmas because I have a book to give you.

All you crafty Catherines will no doubt go nuts for this one. It's "A Greener Christmas," which is full of green (re: twig and berry) projects that you can make for Christmas. All you need to do is answer one simple question, and this book is yours. What is the song that Rosemary Clooney and Vera Ellen sing together in the movie "White Christmas"? Email me the answer (muther@globe.com). The first correct answer gets the book.
UPDATE: WE HAVE A WINNER!
Alexandra Trexler corrrectly answered "Sisters" and has won the book. Congratulations and thanks to all of you who wrote in.
