I’m going to try something different this year, and take pre-orders for the calendar up through November 15th. On Nov 15th I’ll place a lulu.com order, have them shipped to me, sign them, and send them to the buyers by December 1, so they should arrive to you in plenty of time to use as Christmas gifts.
