$\"Myrrh$ <\/p>\n

I saw this in the store and had to take a picture of it. Inside the message is that you should be glad you got a gift card.<\/p>\n

I hope that you received things that you like for Christmas. I certainly did. And if you received an Amazon gift card, please do use this link<\/a> to do your shopping:\u00a0 LINK TO AMAZON.COM<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It does not matter what you buy, I will still benefit. Thanks, and merry Christmas!<\/p>\n

And of course, you may find this particularly useful if you suddenly realize\u00a0today\u00a0that you neglected to get someone a gift\u2026e-mailed gift cards are the only last-second option!<\/p>\n
