Decorating for Christmas...

Okay...We know that Halloween  has just passed & Thanksgiving is a few weeks away, but because we are a staff of two, me & my sister Lorraine, we have to start decorating our store for the holidays. It takes a great deal of time to mark in the merchandise, make room for trees & move displays. We wish that we could wiggle our noses & blink our eyes (alla I Dream of Jeannie) & everything would be perfect, but that's just not the case.

A great deal of planning goes into Christmas. It starts in January. We no sooner take down the trees & we're off to the NY Gift Fair to buy Christmas for the next year.

We loved it all...Dear Santa..."We want it all !"

Most shipments start arriving in June...with the bulk being delivered in September. Then the fun begins! Cleaning & setting up the displays...Trees need lights...we all know how much fun it is to put lights on trees...try putting lights on 5 or more trees. Fun is not the word ;).

But, in the end something magical occurs...

Visit us this Christmas season...& here is a preview of some of the exciting things in store for this year...

Baking is a must...

Gingerbread for sure...

and we all know...

LIFE IS SHORT...Eat Dessert First! 

because...

"STRESSED" is "DESSERTS" spelled backwards & that is "Why" we must eat Dessert First...to relieve "STRESS".

Lots of Fun Stress goes into decorating for the holidays...Stay tuned for more photos of Christmas at Town & Country Gifts...

Eating Dessert First,
