‘Twas the Night Before Christmas… SEO and SMM Alert- 12/24/10 Addition

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas…

So, I said I would never do it… guess that teaches me to “never say never.”

I went Christmas shopping on December 23^rd on one side of town, and have more to do on the other side of town today… Christmas Eve.

I used to look at these shopping holidays on par with Black Friday and something I vowed I would NEVER do. Apparently, traveling coast to coast for the past couple weeks and planning all events for 2011 had other plans with my Christmas shopping. I joked that what wasn’t accomplished via online shopping they would just get an IOU… then I heard my mother’s voice kick in that just said “Lindsay.” (Note the period at the end…, which true meant dissatisfaction) And so I did it… and holy cow it was a nightmare! I have NO idea how people do it. Apparently my patience is not up to par with “day before” shopping.

At least I’m more prepared for business in 2011 then Christmas tomorrow!

Merry Christmas!

Enjoy this week’s alerts!
