Merry Christmas...a month early!

Well...not to beat a dead horse but I'm sure everyone has seen their fair share of Christmas decorations peeking through the Halloween and Thanksgiving festivities...it's only natural for our culture to completely ignore Thanksgiving and more straight to Christmas, right? Seems that way. If you've been to Macy's in the last few weeks, you would have to be blind not to see all of the red and green decorations and elaborate lights- and honestly there is no need to even go to the store, just look at the website...it's obvious.

Well why not get into the holiday spirit before we even get through Thanksgiving?

We've entered into an ago of social media, where everything we do is online...pretty much. Think about all of the things you do in a day that involve your phone or some form of social media: Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, text, call, check email, play games, take notes, voice record teachers, check the weather, check your calendar, listen to music, and even buy movie tickets. For this holiday season, apps are stepping up to the plate and generating a lot of buzz. I introduce to you: Social Shopping Apps. So if you weren't lazy enough last year getting those last minute gifts...have no fear and maintain your comfortable position on the couch.

One site in particular that has developed an app is 'Amazon Windowshop'. Generally used on an ipad or any tablet but, essentially lets you look through products thoroughly and on the go. So, no need to sit at your computer and shop...why not get cozy on the couch with your tablet  and a hot chocolate and go from there? Itching for more?? Luckily, the app offers the same technology that the online website does, presenting the opportunity to buy items on the spot. Once you've bought or browsed you can connect your findings to Facebook and Twitter so that everyone knows what you're doing, as always!
