Ski 'n Play (with paper)

Whether you're tired and weary from too much turkey or that way-too-early mall run, it's time to do a little yoga, eat some probiotics, hit the couch for (yet another) nap, or whatever it takes to get you recharged for the weekend. The usual suspects are still out there for sales, but we've also got a few specials this weekend. Check 'em:

Downeast Ski Sale starts tomorrow at 8 a.m. and promises more than 10,000 downhill, x-country and boarding goodies including boots, bindings, helmets and more. Need to upgrade what you've got at home? Today from 1-6 p.m. drop off any used (but not outdated or in total disrepair) ski stuff and recoup some of your cash. It costs $1/item to register and the ski club keeps 15% commission but the rest is yours to spend.

Need to try before you buy? At the Annual Demo Days at Sunday River you can test drive the products before committing to a purchase.

For the non-skiers, there's once again a bounty of craft and holiday fairs as well as the Antique Paper Show. With more than 40 exhibitors stop here for all your calendar, collectible and stationary needs. And just a little tip: if you're mailing out those holiday cards, it's never too early. Don't be the girl who has to justify the Christmas in July cards. It won't fly.
