Season's Greetings for the Handicapped in Your Household

My nephew Josh is handi-amazing. He can do anything any other 12-year-old can do -- that is, except use his legs. Which is why in this economic crisis, I am creatively making his Christmas gift with my own hands. Blappity, blap, he keeps complaining that he has to carry his daises and newspapers on his lap. Well, Joshinstein, worry no more! Look at this creative wheelchair accessory I am making you. You will be the coolest kid at the quiet school. And, don't worry Great Aunt Frigid, I'm making one for your walker, too!

Since I cannot pleasure myself, I love keeping my hands busy. So, for those of you who are wondering, hey, I can't afford these new alphabet games and war memorials -- just use your noggin' and get sloggin' on some homemade gifts! Just like the Dutch!

The lesson here is: You don't have to be in a wheelchair to appreciate this gift -- but, it helps. Best, Meg
