At Christmas and Easter I always order the holiday specialties from our favorite bakery in NEW YORK CITY which is FERRARA'S. It was there back in the 1890's when my grandmother lived in that neighborhood and the pastries and sweet breads, canoli, etc. are still wonderful and shipped overnight with dry ice. Their Italian Pantone is just like Polish babka which we can't get either up here.....so ordering the pantone does double duty up here.
At least we are all keeping FEDEX and UPS in business...........plus no tax and free shipping on many purchases, depending on which merchant one chooses.

Ah, LLBean, my other addiction...as well as Land's End, Bake Me A Wish, Dale and Thomas Popcorn, Eli's Cheesecake, Appleseeds, Tog Shop, etc, etc, etc.....and of course I have a FEDEX, UPS and USPS account....isn't shopping online great! I've been shopping this way for years.
Today we anxiously await a delivery from the FEDEX guy....
It's like Christmas....lolol.
