I received a printed out copy of an e-mail warning about buying gift cards for Christmas because of so many stores in jeopardy financially. I just checked on Snopes.com and here's the e-mail and what they had to say about it. I think that I may just go ahead and give the kids the gift cards that I got for them from the points on my credit card. I would sure hate for the kids to have gift cards to stores that close after Christmas.
Check it out.
