Today is Oct. 1. Where did 2016 go? It slipped away so quickly, leaving us aghast at the inalterable fact that itâs just 85 shopping days until Christmas. Panic is completely understandable. Weâre now just slightly more than 12 weeks away from the most expensive day of the year. Note: Unless, of course, you got married/divorced this year, or had a liver transplant.
