Monday's story ideas

Christmas Eve bargains. Several years ago my wife scored a gorgeous artificial tree at 90 percent off on Christmas Eve. Incredible bargains abound as stores hope to squeeze every nickel out of the holiday.

Christmas Eve traditions. There are bound to be plenty out there. Opening one gift. Midnight mass. Our is "The Feast of the Seven Fishes" in which you have dinner with seven different kinds of fish. It's an Italian tradition. Find some more.

Holiday politics. The ads don't stop. Do people find this rather offensive during the holidays?

Holiday travel. Considering the bad weather over much of the country, what are your rights if you get stuck?

Political movies. Once again Hollywood finds out people want to be entertained at the theater as "Charlie Wilson's War" isn't exactly a blockbuster. Find out what people want to see this time of year.

And finally, a health story I always meant to do but never did. Stuffing a turkey vs. "dressing" in a pan. Being from the North, I stuff the family bird and always get comments that it is "unsanitary" or "unsafe to eat." What's the real deal?
