I hope you’re all enjoying your Christmas – the family, the food, and not least of all, the gifts (and remember, if you have a new Kindle, or an iPad with a Kindle app, the price of Schulz’s Youth has been cut to $4.99 for the time being). But let’s …
As I type this, you have about an hour-and-a-half left to order gifts to arrive before Christmas, with overnight shipping. After that, you can, of course, still order gift cards to print out or email. (Although I bet if you can get the owner of that Schulz Christmas card art …
