So just like everyone else I seem to know, I waited until the last moment to get some of my XMAS shopping done. Being a web guy, surely I could get this wrapped up in 15 minutes on around say December 21. Too easy I tell myself. Pull out the ol' credit card, make a few searches, locate some items on my list, sip my coffee and get 'er done.

As planned, I did get 'er done. By the time I went to bed on the evening of the 22nd, I had slept peacefully knowing that hard working elves had received my requests and started pulling things off shelves and swiftly packaging my loved ones items.
