SMILE you’re shopping

I’ll admit it. I hate standing in long lines during the holidays. I try to be a good sport and smile, chat with strangers, you know—have some holiday spirit. But, my inner Grinch really starts to complain. Then, my feet start to hurt.  Why can’t they hire a few more people for December? Was it really a SURPRISE when sales picked up right before Christmas?!

To be fair…. I worked in retail for years, and I know exactly how exhausting it is to be behind a register at this time of year.

So, I decided I wouldn’t do it any more. I simply would not let my inner Grinch see the light of day. He would be banished by way of Amazon Smile.  And why not? I can get what I need, have it shipped to my door in intriguing Amazon boxes, as well as give money directly to Walt Disney PTO.

Perhaps that’s something you should be sAmazon Smilemiling about this holiday season?

There’s no catch and it’s super easy. Just go to smile.amazon.com and select Walt Disney PTO as the organization you would like Amazon’s charitable giving to be donated to on your behalf. Then, make sure anything you purchase is through smile.amazon and not amazon.com (the prices and merchandise are exactly the same as far as I can tell). Then, pat yourself on the back for A. being awesome and B. giving money to a good cause that will directly benefit your munchkins.

The Grinch can take a hike this year—and I can spend my extra time baking a real gingerbread house and then being forced to eat it because the roof mysteriously caved in.  Darn.
