It's the most wonderful time of the year???


So once again it’s the that time of year where the holidays sneak up on us as swiftly as a pack of rabid ninjas & we must trudge thru the cold & snowy weather to the malls & stores, where we end up fighting traffic & people while mumbling grievances instead of singing about peace & goodwill to others. This is supposed to be a really fun time of year where you give presents to family members & loved ones & sit around sipping spiked cups of eggnog until grandma inevitably starts dancing & takes her wig off… Oooooh awkward…Anyways it should be a time that bring us back to the wonderful people in our lives & refocuses our attention on the people we love & instead we end up getting bogged down with the chore of dealing with all the details that make so many of us think of the holidays as more of a nuisance than anything else.
I of all people love to shop & spend money but I have my limits too & can’t deal with the crazy shoppers this time of year bumping into me with no regard as I walk thru the mall hoping to find that perfect gift for that special someone… And the traffic is the absolute worse! After all, who doesn’t want to sit in traffic for two hours to get 1 mile down Rte. 9 to The Natick Collection this year instead of being with friends & family? I know I can’t think of anything that could be better or less stressful!
Well guess what everyone? There is a whole other way to do the dreaded task of holiday shopping now! Was I relieved when I saw that we had put together this very cool thing called a gift guide. It’s linked to our website & it’s a collection of the “best of the best” places to fit all your shopping needs. How kick butt is that, really? It even makes shopping online easier, what more could you possibly ask for???
So really don’t be silly & check it out, seriously what do you have to lose? Or is it that you’re a sucker for punishment & truly enjoy the rude people, crying children & packed parking garages? You’re really doing yourself a disservice by not taking a look, but that's just my not-so-humble opinion.
So just do it & now you’ll have so much more time to drink that eggnog & make sure Grandma doesn’t end up in the neighbors yard doing snow angels-AGAIN!
Keep it classy this holiday season my peeps!

Hi there! Told you I'd visit. It took me a couple of days though, sorry.

Good to know I'm not the only one with dancing grandma problems.

See you at the 99
