Oh, cath007-I'm sad to read that your extended family opted to stay at their homes than try to continue on with the meal outing with everyone else. Is grandmother really that scary that she can make all of you show up for Christmas? Not fun for grandmother to be sick. Hope you can call her and let her know you are thinking of her. Did your pet cat give you any joy yesterday? Is she behaving around the Christmas decorations?
Sorry to read of the building vandalism-there must be people who wanted to "score" gifts free without consideration of others because it's Christmas, so more things to find. Did anyone report the incident to the police?

GoJays -that's very disappointing that your order was handled so poorly. I'm aware of the messages on Facebook (for Sears) that there are other customers finding out their orders were cancelled without notice too. Hope that you may be able to find another one in stores soon after most of humanity has its fill of Boxing Week shopping. There was a time when I was aware that suppliers had to join the Sears fulfillment software system in order to have their merchandise carried by the chain. Given some of the tumult from store closings, job losses and corporate decisions, it is likely that there could be pushback from suppliers if merchandise is held until payment is received (have been reading about payments taken but orders not received on FB) from Sears.
