Don't Panic at Christmas! Keep your cool in the face of disaster!

Don't Panic at Christmas! Keep your cool in the face of disaster! How?

Let's imagine that it is now fairly late on Christmas Eve and that it is now certain that the one present that you really cannot afford to be missing from under the Christmas tree will be missing.

It might be a present for your spouse, your significant other, a parent or grandparent and due to bad weather, bad luck, a problem with the delivery firm, the retailer or the manufacturer, it will not be there for Christmas Day.

How to you get around this? Using Publisher, Word, Open Office, etc., you can create them a gift certificate for the missing item which you can then place with the other presents so they will not feel they are missing out.

You can also go to retailers with an online presence and download and print out a gift certificate for the love of your life!
