Friday Links: Homemade Gifts

Happy (black) Friday!  I try my hardest to steer clear of the consumerism that plagues today, and I appreciate the organizations encouraging people to donate to charity.  For me, today is about spending time with family and friends and enjoying time outside to lessen the turkey belly.  If you insist on getting a head start on gifts, take today to start some homemade ones to give your loved ones at Christmas. Cheers!
