I love Amazon. What's better than sitting in your toasty warm P.J.'s, with a cup of coffee, or a beer at 1 AM for a great deal!!

We should look at our Amazon thread from 12/10 and see how much we contributed to those sales, lol. Amazon has done an OUTSTANDING job coming through for everyone this year. I give their customer service an A+.

I agree they have been the best this year when other had been lossing my packages and on hold for hours amazon was right there and I replaced all of my lost stuff with them because they can be counted on!
