Taking inspiration from one of my personal favorite Christmas movies and a quote from everyones favorite elf Buddy, “First we’ll make snow angels for two hours, and then we’ll go ice-skating, and then we’ll eat a whole roll of Toll House cookie dough as fast as we can, and then to finish, we’ll snuggle” and watch all of our favorite holiday movies by the fire. Okay, I added the last part, but Christmas is almost here and I couldn’t be more excited.

Get on top of your game with these Black Friday and Cyber Monday tips.

Research the Deals: Black Friday starts earlier and earlier every year. Make sure you are checking the prices leading up to Black Friday to ensure you are getting the best deal. Keep an eye on the actual sale because online retailers regularly update the prices throughout the event, and sometimes offer deals before Black Friday.

Shop Strategically: Look up all the ads (print and online) a couple days in advance. It’s important to also prioritize your shopping list to determine what you actually need to buy. Start with your high-priority items and make your way down the list. Pro tip: Pick up a newspaper on Thanksgiving morning at any grocery store or coffee shop. The Thanksgiving Day paper will include ALL of the sale ads.

The holidays bring sweet treats, joyful music, bright lights, and very often, travel. Traveling can mean anything; be going to see family in a different city, spending hours on hours out holiday shopping, or even just going to a party for a few hours.

Although holiday travel generally means leaving home for an extended period of time, often to visit family or friends, keeping your home secure while you’re away is important no matter how long you will be gone.

In today’s day and age, there are a plethora of options used to keep your home secure and protected. Many of these devices are easy to install and managed through your smartphone, so they’ll always be in the palm of your hand.

As soon as November hits, it seems like everyone has Thanksgiving on their mind. After all, it is something special to look forward to. It’s a delightful time of year focused around food, giving thanks, and being with loved ones.

There is a lot to think about when planning your thanksgiving feast, whether you’re hosting or attending elsewhere. What are you going to serve? How many people are you feeding? How long is all of this cooking going to take?

No matter how many people you’re cooking for, we understand the time and effort creating a Thanksgiving meal takes. We have put together a list of delicious thanksgiving recipes that take 30 minutes or less to make the whole family will love:

It was the season of Christmas,
When all through your house,
Not a being was stirring
not even a computer mouse;
Alexa was set up in the kitchen with care,
in hopes that reindeer soon would trot there.
The children were all excited, happy to ask questions,
and Alexa could answer all the Santa obsessions…

Let’s be honest, it’s never too early to get excited about the holiday season; it will be here before you know it and this year you are going to be prepared.

Amazon’s Alexa is here to spread joy and make life brighter during this holiday season with some pretty festive skills that you might not know about. 

The coming of cooler temperatures and winter months brings the continuous desire to cuddle up under a blanket and binge on TV shows. In addition to some great viewing options like movie packs and premium channels, monthly streaming services are another way to consume TV shows.
