I can still remember feeling the Christmas Morning excitement of a young child, when the anticipation of opening long-awaited gifts was one of the highlights of the year.
The Christmas Experience (CX) is a lot different as an adult. There are presents to buy. People to be nice to. Drink and food to consume in excess.
Hoewever, there is one event that bring back those heart jumping moments of anticiation. It's called Amazon Day (AD). I order quite a few books from Amazon and most of the boring worky books are delivered directly to my office, whilst the more personal ones are delivered to my home. When I get back from work and see the brown cardboard marked with the Amazon logos my heart sometimes skips a beat.
This week I came home to find two long awaited packages. I now look forward to enjoying these digital landmarks over the coming day, weeks, months and years.
A well matched couple, don't you think?

Sweet.
Holy crap, Chris...that's entirely too flattering a juxtaposition.
I shall therefore endeavour to be the Complete New Yorker, so as to be worthy.
