Unbeknownst to her, my neighbor has given me an early Christmas present. Several weeks ago, she wrapped the tree adjacent to her patio in strands of white lights, punctuated by colorful oversized Christmas ornaments. The effect is magical.

I am a carry-on kind of girl and have been for years – even before those extraneous baggage fees started popping up and making our airfare even more expensive. It does more than save money.
