Happy New Year!<\/p><\/div>\n

Merry Christmas, MIP<\/a> readers! Thank you for “tuning in” here to read my posts. I know you have plenty of to occupy your time during the holidays\u00a0without reading blog posts!<\/p>\n

My 10th most favorite blog post of the year is probably one of your favorites, too. At least I get the most unsolicited comments for this MIP<\/a> feature: Word of the Week<\/a>. As most of you know, I go to the Word of the Day list at Merriam-Webster Online<\/a> and create a list of words I don’t know. Then, I write the Word of the Week post on Mondays <\/a>and offer silly guesses about what the definition for that word might be. The WOW feature<\/a> is often a good way for this writer to remain humble–most of you know these words and I quite obviously don’t! See what I mean here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the WOW feature<\/a> has been a part of MIP<\/a> since it began, this feature is new this year: My Favorite Things<\/a>. I pick out the favorite products, sites, and services in my life and in my home and tell why I like them. Most of you agreed that one of the greatest inventions of the 21st century has to be the evolution of Amazon.com<\/a> and particularly their wish list feature. Go here<\/a> to see why my holiday shopping is so much easier with Amazon.com on the job.<\/p>\n
