I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas – even though it feels more like Vancouver (no snow) here in Toronto. Just a few Christmas thoughts before my kids scramble out of bed:

1. Christmas (and holiday) cards that arrive in the mail are far better and more meaningful than any e-card.
2. A DVD of a fire playing on a large-screen TV has nothing on a real blazing fire.
3. You can Skype me until the cows come home but it will never come close to being together with friends and family.
4. I love the convenience of e-commerce but nothing beats the joy of finding a bargain on Boxing Day after you’ve woken up at 6 a.m., battled the crowds and been lucky enough to actually find the item you were seeking. Wait, this shouldn’t be on the list…:)

Enjoy the day!

Note: If there’s an aspiring Web 2.0 entrepreneur out there, here’s an idea: Regifting.com – a site dedicated to passing on gifts you don’t like or need. (Hmm, that could be eBay.) What about FruitcakeExchange.com – a site for people who really like fruitcake, and for all those fruitcake-haters who receive them as gifts and need a way to get rid of them.
