Free Shipping Day - December 18th
My friend Damon often hassles me about the time when I was running late to catch my flight at the airport and ended up happily getting bumped and earning $200+ in Southwest vouchers instead. It annoys him to no end that I got rewarded that day for being late!Well latecomers and procrastinators alike can now be rewarded for their last minute shopping efforts... More than 45 online retailers will be offering FREE shipping on December 18th to online shoppers with guaranteed delivery by Christmas Eve. Amazon, Apple, Target and Dell are just a few of the online retailers trying to garner your last-minute shopping dollars. Check it out here to get the details. Thanks to BabyCheapskate for the tip off!

EARLY EASTER FACTS
Here's an interesting tidbit of information that I received via email this week (HT: Ann & Mom) about Easter in 2008. I haven't done extensive calendar research to verify that it's true, but Snopes says it is, so that's good enough for me! Check this out...-----------
Easter is early this year. Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar.
Based on the above information, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22); that is rare.
Here's the interesting information. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early before (95 years old or above). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier! Here's the facts:
1) The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (220 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!).
2) The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year!
