Ack! and the rush is on. It is hard to find the peace on earth feeling when things in our current holiday social mood are so superficial. It’s seems it’s not a great holiday season without the latest gadget that racks up our credit card debt. Fear not, here are the top gifts for men and women this year that won’t break the bank. If an engagement ring is either on your buy or want list, think again. Christmas is not the best time to propose.  Keep proposals a separate and special moment. If the woman in your life is, or you yourself are, expecting a ring, don’t do it. It puts a lot of pressure on the asker and sets the’ askee’ up for disappointment. Be sure not to ask or imply that this Christmas is the time for engagement, leave that up to the asker and hen you have TWO special occasions to celebrate every year!
