amazon.com is the new santa

Even though retail feeds my family (thanks to hubby's job), I hate shopping during the holidays. I avoid the mall at all costs. I hate crowds. I hate waiting in line.  My time is precious -- and I hate wasting it shopping.

Therefore, I do most, if not all, of my major shopping while sitting on my tushy, in my PJ's, using my handy-dandy MacBook.

And thanks to Amazon.com, I get everything hand-delivered to my doorway. This is also great because I hate loading and unloading my car.  This year, I literally ordered 90% of my gifts in about one-hour's time. And I didn't pay any shipping fees. You can't beat that. Plus, as an extra bonus I ordered through the link for an organization called Aspen (Asperger Syndrome Education Network) which will receive up to 20% of my sales.  So my giving has added value.

I just wish the UPS guys would dress like Santa's elves and deliver the packages straight to my Christmas Tree. Then even I would believe in Santa.
