I must say, the shopping lists I am seeing these days look nothing like my concept of a Christmas wish list. My concept is a long list of goodies just written or typed out. For example I want some new pajamas and a calendar and some wool socks and a Roomba. You get the idea. Over the weekend my son and daughter-in-law sent me their wish lists as emails. Not only did each list contain several reasonably priced items, carefully described, but also the links to take me right to the website where I could purchase these goodies. And so I did. Cyber shop that is. While I have never had a desire to fight the crowds to shop on Black Friday, it turns out that Cyber Monday is not bad at all. No crowds, no waiting in line, no need to wear a mask. Of course, on the down side, I am at the mercy of UPS, Fed X and others to get my hands on the actual items. They have promised seven days, A week ago I rode up in the elevator with a delivery man carrying a medium size box. As we rode it dropped out of his hands and landed with a smack on the elevator floor. I didn't hear anything rattling but I am really glad that almost everything I've ordered is cloth.
