Christmas Gift Guide

Christmas Gift Guide - Being that we are officially less than 10 days away from Christmas morning, it is probably a good idea to finish up, well ok, begin your shopping. Some folks have a knack for figuring out a perfect, thoughtful gift for each person on their list, while others of us just debate on what amount is appropriate to slap on gifts cards given the nature of each relationship. Either way it's a crucial move and one that if handle poorly, could haunt you long past Easter.

With that said, here is a buying guide for a few folks who may be on your list.

Brett Favre - A rotary phone.
Not only will he appreciate the old school nature of this gift, it will also help eliminate a few temptations. No way is he going to be able to send a pic through one of those beasts, it takes five minutes just to dial someone, especially if they've got nines in their number.

Minnesota Viking fans - long flexible socks.
You going to need to go ahead and give this early, before Monday at least. With the Vikings slated to play their games outside now, fans are going to need to keep their feet warm. Plus, it doesn't look like there is going to be any alcohol sales at the University of Minnesota Monday, so it looks like fans will have to go college-game on the situation, hence the flexibility of the socks. Ol' sock drink will keep the rest of your body warm, along with helping to coup with the awfulness of watching Joe Webb play quarterback.

Contactless Debit Cards - Contactless debit cards will make their formal debut in Canada next year with the launch of Interac Flash from Acxsys Corp.’s Interac Association, Canada’s national debit network.

Homes Losing Value Fastest

Homes Losing Value Fastest - Homeowners with Citigroup loans in foreclosure-rich Virginia Beach, Va., and Orlando, Fla., are in luck. The mortgage giant announced today that it will impose a moratorium on most foreclosures and modify $20 billion in mortgages to enable homeowners who are not behind on their loans, but in danger of falling behind, to avoid foreclosure. Those that don't fall under the plan? They're in hot water. Well, underwater. Virginia Beach homeowners who bought homes this year possess a paltry 5.2% of home equity, and 34.5% owe more on their property than it's worth, according to Zillow.com, a real estate research group. That's the worst rate in the country. Even in Orlando and Miami, two cities hammered by bad loans and home-equity dips, only 30% and 29% of homeowners are underwater, respectively.
