MANNERS MAVEN NIXES X-MAS GIFT BARTER SYSTEM

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (Wireless Flash) -- You'll have a new way to get rid of any horrible Christmas gifts come December 25. That's when a new website will allow finicky folks to trade in their fruitcakes, pink bunny slippers and cheap cologne to people who actually want them. A spokesperson for Intellibarter.com says it's opening for business on Christmas Day because there's a high number of impatient folks desperate to dump their unwanted gifts ASAP. Meanwhile, manners maven Dana May Casperson claims it's horrible etiquette to get rid of a present which someone took special pains to select for you -- especially on the same day you receive it. She says if you absolutely need to unload the unwanted trinket, give it away for free.
