Ghengis is currently watching the holiday classic, A Christmas Story. I'm currently reading up on the book it was based on.

But what I'm currently reading is Overspent American: Why We Want What We Don't Need. The strength of the book is the research presented that backs up the collective hunch that our consumer culture is driving many of us to be dangerously overextended financially.

But don't let me give you the wrong impression - I love the Christmas holidays. I hope you enjoy yours.
