We’re approaching the Holiday season now and the present-buying time is approaching. Well, something that came up at my seminar for the Alpha Phi ladies of GMU is this:  the police stop cars periodically, especially as the holidays approach us.  Sometimes they ask to look in the trunk. If you have been collecting presents to take home for the Holidays, and if you don’t have the receipts with the presents, you can easily find yourself accused of stealing the presents.  So keep your receipts with the presents. (And , if you can, it’s probably smart to take the presents out of the car until it’s time to take them to their intended recipients.)
