How’s that for shameless self-promotion?

It’s November. It’s almost Thanksgiving. And that means that Christmas, Chanukah, and whatever other holiday might suit your fancy are all coming up sooner than you think.

This post is to encourage you to feel their hot breaths on your neck and solve all your gift-giving dilemmas by turning to that online colossus, Amazon.

And if you use those widgets on my right sidebar to click through for all your Amazon purchases (now and at any other time of year) you will also be giving a small but still not insignificant gift to neo-neocon (it adds up, folks), and all without spending any extra money! What could be more wonderful?

This announcement will appear at my blog again a few times between now and Christmas, as a gentle yet mercenary reminder. And notice that there already are special holiday deals at Amazon, even prior to Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

What’s more, you can get free shipping with a free trial of Amazon Prime for a month. Why not time it for the holidays?
