High hopes for holiday shopping season

Ah! The holiday shopping season.

The time of year where the malls are packed, where finding a parking spot requires Xanax and where post-Thanksgiving dinner means lining up outside of Best Buy for a discounted TV. And, now, in the world of online shopping, we add to the list of traditions, waiting for Amazon to notify you the package is on the way and praying that special something for that special someone is not on a shipping container on boat anchored outside the Port of Los Angeles.
