On December 6th, Jodi Womack is hosting a Mac Workshop with a great holiday gift idea – bring your Macbook, photos and some music, and Jodi will teach you how to make your own professional looking CD for the holidays. Click the image to enlarge the flyer.
Here’s a question for Ojai Post readers: are you changing your holiday gift giving this year? We are – we’ve made agreements with our various family and friends with whom we normally exchange, to cut back 75-100% this year. Meanwhile, how disgusting was the story of the worker who was trampled to death yesterday at Wal-Mart?

I’ll add a thought to the holiday gift giving (non)discussion – if you do shop, SHOP LOCAL! Support our local merchants who have an abundance of creative, artisan, affordable items. My favorite stores to get gifts include Kava, Rains, Ojai House, Serendipity Toys, Soul Centered and Made In Ojai.
Tyler you forgot my favorite store – and it is absolutely gorgeous and scrumptious, artistic, beautiful and lots of stuff for everybody and I don’t own it – but I LOVE IT…..try JONES & COMPANY…across from Ojai House.
Just Lovely…
In some ways, I am glad to see people are not dwelling on the death at Wal-Mart. In another way, I see this as almost as big a wake up call as is the economic collapse. A man died because a horde of people thought it was more important to be the first one to the flat screens than to help a stranger back to his feet. If the reason for the season is spiritual, where was the Christian charity? If the reason for the season is simply sharing love, where was the human compassion?
I am deeply, deeply disturbed by these events and I think that they have some bearing on the question Tyler asked about scaling back. Perhaps if we all scaled back a little, one family in Long Island would be celebrating their holiday this year instead of mourning.
