If I've learned anything from broke people TV it's that if you're ever on Let's Make a Deal, never trust Tiffany, she'll screw you over every time.
EDIT: Also, the only major news outlet that is shown is Fox News on Sundays and BBC America on Wednesdays. The Brits show less ***.

Experience has taught me that Tiffanies aren't that reliable for anything.
I second your motion.

Too early for to think about Christmas. Good job, Nik! You reminded me that I'm going to have to get more lights this year. >:

My brother-in-law starts petitioning his wife to put up the Christmas trees from November 1. He doesn't even give it enough time for the kids' Halloween sugar rush to wear off...
...which, given they have like eight trees of varying sizes, maybe he needs them to have that energy to help put them all up, but still.

In my B-i-L's defense, he's a giant child at heart who is also a methodist minister.

Sounds more like Corporate Americas wet dream! Tis' the season of consuming and profits.
I hate walking into a Department Store after Halloween and XMas music is already starting to play. What about the Turkeys!!!!

Actually, you don't get much more anti-corporate America than my B-i-L.
He and I actually get along really well, despite what you suspect otherwise due to what you see me talk about here re: religion (though I won't lie; it's more strained than it used to be since he actually was...frocked or hooded or cloaked or whatever they do in the UMC). And whether I believe in religion or not, I still embrace the holiday season as a time to try to be kinder to others and be thankful for what I've got, and that's very much what he's about too. In fact, corporate Christmas makes him quite angry. He likes Christmas carols and the trees and decorations, but he doesn't do big spending on material items. Smaller items, clothing, food gifts, etc. To the point where my wife and I send them (they live in NC) a food gift basket and gift cards for the kids, and they hold onto the cards and ration the cards out in the months going forward.
Now, granted, they go whole-hog when it comes to birthdays to make up for it, but he really does do Christmas right.
Which is really why he's so into decorating. He's really, really into pushing that Christmas spirit as much as possible.
Related, my favorite bit of religious needling I've sent to him:

Our family/family-friends Christmas party is mild when it comes to gifts for adults. We do a Secret Santa for the adults when my mother hosts almost every year. Fifteen to twenty adults, and what do we really want or need anyway? It's more about the kiddos and the food. Spare no expense for the food!
Kind of crappy that your nieces and or nephews can't spend the cards how they please, but oh well.
EDIT: Broken, Misa.

One is eight, one is five.
They spend them as they please, it's just rationed out for a bit for the sake of not putting too much emphasis on the "Christmas is about gifts" thing. Buying a single toy or w/e on several trips seems actually quite reasonable to me. /shrug
That and getting them in the habbit of spending lots of money at once isn't good. I mean, yeah some of their living expenses are covered by the church as part of his compensation package, but his take home in actual cash is fairly low.

I'll do what I can, just name the time-frame you need help on~
I started translating the intro yesterday. Had to go fish it out from a handful of pages back and was side-tracked by P&R. :/ Woe unto those who read P&R threads on the weekend. Good God! LOL!
Sorry about the delay.

I once worked on a job where we were building an Asphault plant, when the contracter who hired us showed us the blueprints, they were drawn on the side of a Braum's sack.
