I am typically really level-headed on this stuff in recent years, however this year I feel more vulnerable to the "Must.Buy.Now.More" belief system. thanks for the reminder. the idea of keeping things simple this time of year is like (pardon the tired analogy but it IS the one that came to mind!) a water mirage in the desert.

Also, thanks for the heads up on the ipod. I'm looking at buying one of the new 80gb ipods for when we go travelling.
