Black Friday and the Amazon portal
It’s the day after Thanksgiving, otherwise known as Black Friday. If you’re curious to know the origin of the term, see this.
I don’t know if the stores are still so crowded on this day, post-lockdown when everyone got even more used to shopping online. (Act of shameless self-promotion coming up): just use this blog as the portal for your Amazon holiday gift purchases if you prefer – as they used to say of the yellow pages long ago, before the internet took over – to let your fingers do the walking. Click on the Amazon widget in the right sidebar on desktops/laptops or down at the bottom of the page for phones (or go here if for some reason the widget isn’t showing), and everything you buy during that visit will send a bit of money my way, and it won’t cost you one extra cent. Or here’s a link to Black Friday specials.
Then you can relax and enjoy eating those leftovers, watching TV, taking a walk, or writing the great American novel.
I ordered stollen, and gingerbread cookies for family today and some cook books too ( check out the book Advent). I’ve got lots of family in the US, so Amazon shopping is more convenient for me and lots faster than buying here and going to the post office. Sometimes i forget your portal, but I’m doing better lately.
So, our son took his in-laws out for Black Friday shopping at the computer store, and his car was hit in the parking lot. Still waiting to hear how bad the damage was.
Fortunately, no one was hurt, but that’s another check mark in the on-line shopping column.
