…and if you feel so inclined, good Reader, please to put the penny in the Dragon’s hat!

No, I’m not asking for donations. But it occurs to me that the good Reader is probably quite computer savvy, and may in fact be doing some of his (or her!) Christmas shopping online, perhaps even through Amazon.com.

If this describes you, good Reader, then might I make a request? Aiera is an Amazon “Affiliate,” which means that Amazon will give me a small commission on any sales revenue generated through links to Amazon on the site here.

So if, good Reader, you had planned to do a bit of your Christmas shopping through this online medium, might I encourage you to begin your search for gifts here?

If even your initial searches of Amazon originate from here, anything you end up purchasing might just see a few pennies land in my proverbial hat. And that way, we both benefit: you get the gifts you want, at Amazon’s typically competitive prices…and simultaneously, you support the ongoing efforts of this site, in a way that doesn’t require you to donate directly.

I call that “win/win,” myself.
