HO, HO, HO, Oh My!!
That magical time of year is just speeding towards us on 32 hooves (36 if Rudolph is available). Of course everything gets started with that yummy holiday in November. Truly one of my favorite holidays with family and friends and tasty food. Pass the gravy please!
If you haven't already planted your spring bulbs you still have time to do so. This also applies to planting garlic for your spring crop. Of course, if you wait too long then the ground will be frozen. Then you will need to use a jack hammer to plant anything. Personally, I would rather sit inside with a toasty beverage. You are all free to join me!
Now if you are looking for a quick gift idea, consider picking up a boxed Amaryllis or Paperwhite set for that housewarming, birthday, special day gift. These are so very beautiful to watch grow this time of year when there is nothing blooming outside. It is fun to watch the birds at the feeders and enjoying the still standing sunflower stems. Maybe observing the wildlife nibbling on the sunflowers (or other plants!) or the corn or apples we put out for them. It is still always a complete upper to have something blooming inside during the cold weather months. It certainly brightens up my day.
Now to the fun information for you. The Delaware Oakland Nursery Christmas Open House is the weekend of November 9th and 10th. There will be special events going on the entire weekend from 12pm to 4pm for the whole family to enjoy.
Again, the Delaware Gift Barn will be featuring tastings from 12pm to 4pm of some of the gourmet food items that we carry.
Some treats to look forward to trying will be from Stonewall Kitchen, Rabbit Creek, Mrs. Miller's Jams/Jellies, Urban Accents, Jack'Snaks, etc. Come try an old favorite or something brand new. Then incorporate some tasty tidbit into your holiday festivities.
Anything to make your celebrations easier and more relaxing for you and your family.
To do some additional name dropping here, be on the lookout for the chocolates/candy from Coblentz Chocolate Company, Belgian chocolate from Cocoba (new for us this year), the most adorable Snowman marshmallows and Christmas sugar cubes from Two's Company. I'm getting a sugar high just writing this for you! And don't forget the hot chocolate Snowman gifts, such cute stocking stuffers for all ages!
As always you will find some of the most interesting and beautiful Christmas themed pillows, table runners, candles and ornaments galore in the Gift Barn. The trees and decor are stunning and sure to inspire some new ideas for your own home decor. Be sure to find the brown bears, moose and other animals in our Nordic theme display in the loft and polar bears in the Ice theme display Downstairs. Come admire Sparkles, our gold, bejeweled reindeer in the richly, opulent Traditional Christmas display also downstairs. We have such fun creating these themes for your enjoyment.
Expect to see the Jolly Ol' Elf himself starting the weekend following Thanksgiving. And then for the two weekends afterward (Dec 7th & 8th and December 13th & 14th). Immediately afterward he will go back to his office at the North Pole to get ready for "The Big Night".
And I will be leaving out cookies (gluten free?) and whatever beverage he prefers. Because by then I will be fast asleep dreaming of sugarplums, etc.
Till next time folks, have fun and Merry Christmas!
