children around the world happy he'd have to travel at 1,046 kilometers
a second.
Shopping over the internet is a bit slower, but it zips along. And at
least you can avoid the crowded madness and perhaps you'll even find
out what "holiday calm" means.

staff, and supplementary services it received the prestigious Merchant
of the Year award this year.
