What a season this has been! We have literally wrapped thousands of gifts for Christmas, and the CG's have functioned as a team any drill Sargent would be proud of. Scan, tissue, wrap, ribbon, add a jingle bell, add label, bag. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. What a good time we've had! There is something in the "rhythm of the rush" that begins at Thanksgiving and does not release us from its grip until just about now...we love it here at the store.
We would like to thank everybody who came in to shop, as well as those who have discovered us online: Yes, we have taken the plunge, and have begun selling some of our products online.
So far we've packaged up lots of gifts to be sent to 15 of the 50 states, and counting. (Nothing to Hawaii or Alaska just yet, but people in California and New York appear to be quite keen on us.)
Our Christmas open house was fun and successful thanks to the live music and festive atmosphere, and in spite of the early winter chill. CG also hosted a private shopping night one evening, and absolutely lovely ladies were in attendance, all having a very merry time. The Village Christmas Walk was jam packed, and everybody enjoyed homemade cider and donuts. Santa made a smashing appearance on the fire truck, and indicated that all of the Clever Girls were, indeed on the "Nice" list once again...
My own house has been soaked in Nest Candles "Holiday" fragrance, and my Spotify playlists have had me on classic Christmas carol overload for more than a month now. I did manage to catch one of my favorite movies...love it!
A very Happy New Year to everyone!
