Where Knowledge Junkies Get Their Fix
Hey Flossers: A final reminder to get your orders in by today since it’s the last day we can guarantee that you’ll get your terrific gifts by Christmas Day. Of course, if you’re celebrating Festivus, Winter Solstice or any other wintery holiday, your deadline may vary accordingly.
is the SHIP coupon valid for shipping to Canada?

Sorry Jocelyn… as a small company we can’t afford to ship stuff out to Canada for free, but we’re hoping that won’t stop you from shopping with us.

Thanks for specifying that you’re talking about the Christmas holiday! It irritates me when companies advertise the last day to shop for “holiday delivery.” Perhaps they’re trying to be inoffensive or politically correct, but what if your holiday is Hanukkah, which is already over, or something else that is yet to come?? In my opinion, “Christmas” should be used when you’re talking about December 25th; “holiday/s” when you’re including any holiday celebrated in this season.
