My Mom Is Way Better Than Santa

Every little boy and girl knows the story of Santa and how on Dec 25th he brings colorfully wrapped boxes filled with toys, candy, clothes and other goodies we know as presents, growing up I always look forward to the arrival of Christmas because I get all of my soon to be favorite video games, But the gifts I look forward to aren't from Santa. No my mom gives way better gifts than Santa ever could and she gets even the most expensive gifts without breaking the bank.

Christmas only happens once every year, but people spend so much money on getting gifts that the stores even have the Friday after Thanksgiving to give amazing deals, and people wait in line just for a chance to get the televisions of their dreams or the toys that their kids have been asking for at great prices. Black Friday has been used by many to get great deals on almost every conceivable gadget you could think of, but my mom goes one step further and is able to get any gift without spending a dime.
The economy is tough right now and with that being said every year it gets more and more likely that families will be giving less and less gifts to each other, but my mom has found a great way to get her gifts from toys and candy to clothes and electronics.

through a website called Points to Shop my mom fills out surveys online and gets money from each and every one she fills out. she is then able to do anything she wants with the money she earns. The biggest thing Points to Shop allows you to do is use your points on amazon which like eBay lets you buy anything you could ever want.
