I think that I will just do my shopping online. I am just going to get my mom something for Christmas. I got her a foot massager last Christmas because of her bad diabetes. I am getting her something else that's health-oriented.
I usually get her religious stuff for her birthday.
I also got her artwork in the past too.

Michael E. Brown, a professor of planetary astronomy at the California Institute of Technology who discovered the distant ball of ice and rock that he nicknamed Xena, chose the name Eris, after the goddess of discord and strife in Greek mythology.
"It is absolutely the perfect name," Brown said, given the continuing discord among astronomers and the public over whether Pluto should have retained its planetary status.
In mythology, Eris ignited discord that led to the Trojan War.
"She causes strife by causing arguments among men, by making them think their opinions are right and everyone else's is wrong," Brown said. "It really is just perfect."
