Vince, you can do what I did: ask for delivery not earlier than a 
certain date and no later than another.  I did this for Christmas 2003 
and placed the order for the Orion in mid-November; Ten-Tec saw to it 
that it was delivered three days before the 25th!  Of course, they do 
not charge your credit card until the radio is actually shipped, so 
order early!
