GREEN MONDAY: Another Internet Shopping Holiday!

Today is one of the busiest days of the year for both shipping companies and online stores. Internet retailers call it "Green Monday" because, according to analysts, the second Monday in December has become as big for online holiday shoppers as the Monday after Thanksgiving.

Check out some holiday gift ideas below:

* If you missed our Cyber Monday feature, there was a lot of soap opera merchandise from 2011 perfect for soap fans including books, DVDs, music and more.

* We recently named our Top 30 Life Stories, books from and about people from the world of soaps including Mary Stuart, Harding Lemay, Sharon Gabet and others. Readers made their own recommendations and the list continues to grow.

* The We Love Soaps Store has lots of cool items to check out. Our interviewees usually drink out of the WLS mugs while we chat.

* "Absolutely Should-Less: The Secret to Living the Stress-Free Life You Deserve" by Damon L. Jacobs is always a good read. Shouldless holidays are the best! You can by it at Amazon.com.

* Also at Amazon.com, you can purchase Manhattanites, the 2008 full-length film written by Roger Newcomb and Gregori J. Martin starring Ilene Kristen, Aiden Turner, Forbes March, Alex McCord, Jill Larson and David Fumero. It's on sale till the end of the year.
