                               Christmas, we have moved away from                                            frame
the traditional gift exchange. Instead we do the White Elephant                                              shop
game. The way we play it is, everybody must bring only one gift
per person and we put all of the gifts in the center of the room.      Now Located in Downtown Naples
Each person gets to either pick a gift from the pile or grab what
someone else has already opened. It’s lot of fun!                            THE FRAME UP

                               gifts for my four daughters that have
                               been selected especially for each one.
                               I watch all year for special items and
                               lovingly pack them into a closet until
the holiday season. The thrill of excitement on their faces on
Christmas morning makes my heart swell with happiness

                       DIANA JARRETT

                               Life in Naples contributing writer
                                    I was an early adapter to the

                               online shopping experience. Since
                               time is money they say – I consider
                               the convenience of shopping late
at night or whenever I can fit it in to be a great value-added
benefit. Plus I scout for free shipping events which sweetens the
deal. Every year I envision myself stocking up on gifts at least
3-4 months prior to Christmas. Sadly, that never happens as
the rest of my life sidetracks me from that type of organization.
So realistically my holiday shopping occurs within the 30-day
period before gift giving.
