Gas prices are down, at least for a while. The kids are back in school and winter has started. For most people vacation time is over and it is time to settle back into our daily activities.
There are still a few people who take a vacation whenever they want and others are preparing for Holiday fun and travel. If you are one of those traveling over the Holidays please travel with care.
While you are planning your travels don’t forget to take time for some of the sites this wonderful country of ours has to offer. Sites like Sea World in California and the aquarium at Newport, Oregon. Enjoy the warmth of the desert locations in Arizona.
All the sites can be enjoyed while you travel to visit relatives or friends for the Christmas season. Oh, yes, don’t forget, you still need to find that just right gift.
You know the one I’m talking about. That just right gift that says everything we need to say but doesn’t break the bank. The gift that says you have given a lot of thought but is still within the budget.
It is getting harder and harder to find good quality gifts these days. So many of the favored shopping places we all knew are closing their doors. Makes it a little rough for us to make all the purchases we find necessary.
With so many businesses either shutting down or cutting back we have to wonder what will be next. Insurance companies are in trouble and the banks are also in deep doo-doo.
I started hitting the stores a few weeks ago thinking I could get a head start and beat the rush. Well, that didn’t happen. It didn’t happen because I couldn’t find the right gifts. Each time I went out looking I found the same thing, FRUSTRATION.
Stores are already getting crowded and as the season grows closer the people seem to get more rude. It takes the fun and spirit out of the season. In fact, it just makes you want to forget all about shopping and the whole “bah humbug” thing.
But today we have alternatives. We have that little thing called the internet. By use of the internet there is no place we cannot go. With the click of a few buttons we can cross the globe or see the stars.
And best of all, I’m now finding myself using the power of the internet to do some of my shopping. Just about everything I need can be found online if I look for it. Most of my Christmas shopping will be done online.
I have located several good places to do my shopping and at a good price too. I also see that I am not alone either. Many people have discovered internet shopping and the convenience it has to offer.
Online shopping is a whole lot easier than trucking all the way downtown to fight your way through crowded store isles hoping something will catch your eye and then standing in a waiting line to make the final purchase.
With just a few keystrokes you can search out several different categories and find whatever it is you are looking for, hit another button and pay for it then it is shipped right to your door.
What could be easier? And it is all encrypted so you are safe.
I have actually made many purchases online over the last few years but I never did my Christmas shopping online until now. Give it a try. You are safe. Those dot comers go to extremes to protect their buyers. They know that if they don’t look out for you then you probably won’t be back.
The online shopping marts can not remain in business if they don’t take care of the people who actually make them.
Well, I gotta go. My shopping won’t get by me shooting off my big mouth. Gotta hit some buttons. See ya!
