Thank you! I will!
We put the ‘bones’ in place today for our Natural Christmas, and also practiced our “Disney Answer’ for customers that complain we don’t have artificial trees, ornaments, light sets, etc. anymore, which will be, “I’m sorry if we disappointed you, but we’ve decided to do what we do BEST as a GARDEN CENTER and that’s fresh cut Christmas Trees, fresh greenery and green gifts for the Holidays.” (A ‘Disney Answer’ is what Corporate WANTS you to say to explain a situation, not necessarily what YOU want to say...I won’t tell you what I want to say, other than, ‘Praise the Lord! I don’t have to decorate a dozen fake Christmas Trees this year! Wa-Hoo!’)
I’ll be tweaking it in the month to come. The trick is to make it look full and pretty and not like Christmas...yet! The last thing to go up will be the lights on the arbors, when the Points arrive that week before Thanksgiving.
It’s looking very pretty so far and when I get some photos posted, I’ll give you a link to my Facebook account where you can see them. :)
I like your version of Christmas! LOL
I’m not much on poinsettias. They bruise and bleed if the wind shifts or a cloud passes by. Altho I did a really cool article on them a couple years ago! :)
I know all about Disney answers! My boss is great, and he’s got to be the biggest diplomat in the world. I’d just say something like, Nah, we threw all those out last week. He very politely says, I’m very sorry, we’re all out of those. LOL
Facebook? Kewl. I guess I’m going to be dragged kicking and screaming into this century whether I want it or not! Drag, baby, drag!
