Shopping: Yoda's Christmas Miracle

I love Amazon. Totally free advertising right there. You are welcome Amazon (though it probably makes little difference to you).

Online shopping is the only reason that I have gifts to give around Christmas time. I hate shopping. I really do. All kinds. Even grocery shopping pisses me off.

It started with just a couple things from online venues and the rest from brick and mortar stores. Not anymore. No brick and mortar. Ever again. Yep, that's right. I basically do all of my Christmas shopping online.

With only a couple of days before Thanksgiving, I still have gifts to order. My nephews get nerf guns and Legos; they're the most fun, which is where Yoda enters this story.


Christmas shouldn't be about winning or losing, but I won Christmas last year with my sister and her two boys. I gave them a Lego Advent calendar. Every day of Advent they opened that day on the calendar and they found a new thing to build. Usually a ship or Lego man. Lego Yoda was the last one on Christmas Eve, I think.

Apparently, it was so much fun that the boys have requested another one. I think I can make that happen, but this year's calendar comes with a Christmas Darth Maul. I don't think he's as festive as Yoda. Christmas Yoda could kick Christmas Darth Maul's ass any day of the week.
