Seventy-eight percent of people say they will be spending more on Christmas in 2003, according to an annual survey conducted by My Merry Christmas.com. The survey tracks the attitudes and anticipated spending habits of consumers each holiday season. More than 85 percent of respondents are convinced that Christmas 2003 will be merrier than last year. "Folks feel a little more secure this holiday season," noted Jeff Westover, Editor of My Merry Christmas.com. "Last year we faced greater uncertainty in Iraq than we do this year, the employment picture has improved, companies are bouncing back from several tough seasons and families are gathering once again for holiday celebrations because travel has become more safe." Respondents to this year's survey indicate that employers are being a little more generous too: fifty-seven percent say employers will be paying a little more in their Christmas bonuses this season.
The annual survey -- now in its 4th year -- at My Merry Christmas.com is used to gauge reader attitudes about the holiday season. Periodic sampling of reader attitudes regarding seasonal spending plans, traditional observances and employment status are also tracked.

Dear Santa: Christmas Sucks!
Christmas time is finally here, and most people during this holiday are happier than a fat kid eating a Krispy Kreme donut. Christmas brings so many great things to the table; the caroling, the NO SCHOOL, the snowmen and hour long snowball fights that ends with bloody noses, the eggnog and drunken relatives, the presents, holiday parties, and the drinking hot coco next to a roaring fire while cuddling up with your loved one. How could anybody not love this great holiday! It's a hiatus from the dark sadness of reality and a time where you can be ridiculously happy! But maybe too happy?In a recent poll, over 45 percent said that they dreaded the holiday altogether. Not everyone seems to see the light that Christmas brings, and if you look harder into the eyes of this joyous holiday, you may see why.

Extension Ladders
Extension ladders are ladders whose length can be extended for reaching higher areas. Generally, they can increase up to almost double their height. In an extension ladder, two ladders of the same size are combined, and then one is slid up to increase the height. Since some portions of the ladder overlap, the actual height is not truly double but a few feet less than double. Thus, whatever the height you want to reach, the length of the extension ladder should be a few feet more than the point...
