Well, Christmas 2013 is over and this
year will be remembered as the year that the American government
taught business that they should “do the right thing”.
It's a wonder. I am of the belief that
Amazon got hit hard when the president compared his health plan to
their online shop. I would be interested to see the figures of
online activity after Amazon's name was mentioned during the press
conference. Gosh, Amazon has only been in business for eighteen
years and they are a household world! Beat that!
This year I did opt to join Amazon
Prime in order to benefit from free shipping. Since I had the
membership I seriously thought about ordering something just to see
if it showed at my doorstep on Christmas Eve but I didn't have the
heart. I knew that Amazon and UPS had been working because they had
already completed two orders that I had placed late in the season.
It's not easy to work double time and then be expected to show at
family gatherings with a smile on your face.
There was an announcement from UPS one
December 16 that they were backlogged due to inclement weather and
within a day or two I saw the local UPS trucks with trailers attached
to them. Guess that news didn't get spread around.
There are 349 days left until Christmas
and orders placed today are expected to be delivered in time.
In the mean time, I am recovering from the holidays. Today I found my grocery list for my official holiday shopping trip. It's hard to believe that my family shared over eighty pounds of baked goods! Guess it's no wonder why I'm taking a while to recover.
