So since my wife and I are also decorating as well as getting ready for festivities and a new dog. I broke down and gave my wife an early Christmas gift. Our old vacuum system is a built in unit and sucks so much it blows. I've always thought of getting one of those Dyson's and used this opportunity to get one. They are not cheap at $500 for the basic upright but, holy smokes, the suction is simple amazing. Needless to say keep all eyes, lips, bodily appendages, small woodland creatures and the like away from it.

If you want a clean house and are sick of sleeping in the "big" bed, get the wife one of these for Christmas.

I am now looking for another gift for the wife. The new puppy was to be the first resident of his little dog house. Any suggestions?
