E-Christmas
I have to be on-top of my Christmas present buying this year, since all present have to be mailed out many days in advance. This means no last-minute, Christmas eve shopping sprees.
I’ve been relying heavily on ol’ Amazon.com this year, simply because they carry everything under the sun and if you spend enough dough, they’ll ship it for free.
Also, Amazon makes it very exciting for those of us who absolutely must receive their purchases a few days before December 25. When you buy a book from Amazon, they’ll give you a estimate on shipping (how long it takes to leave the warehouse) and delivery (how long it takes to get to your house). The exciting part? Once you place an order, these estimates will change, and change often. Like, several times a day. This morning my packages were scheduled to arrive on Dec 18, and this afternoon, well, they might make it here by Dec 21. By Monday, it’s not impossible that my books could be spending Christmas in a holding pen in Louisville, KY.
Thanks Amazon, for keeping it interesting.

oh amazon, my fav. but i don’t know swans, going with the free shipping for xmas gifts is brave. they usually get the 5-10 day shipment to me on day 3 (they must know how much i like them) but who knows, perhaps they’ll actually use those 10 days this time of year.
