Seriously, I have to wonder what people expect. In the "I walked 5 miles to school in the snow" category, I remember when if you hadn't ordered something by NOVEMBER 15th, it would never arrive in time for the Christmas holiday. Given that some unheard-of number of people ordered items on the 22nd/23rd, AND there were major storms knocking out power all across the midwest and eastern seaboards, AND flights were grounded....geeeze, people, it's not like they could employ Santa and Rudolph to get everything where it needed to go.
