...And we have clients picking up Christmas presents as we speak! Actually, the water jet has proven to be a very useful present producer over the past few weeks. Quite a few people have come in to get loved one's names cut out to personalize things. The little elves in the shop have turned out some cool customer designs for wall art and we are even working on a personalized fence! These are just a few of the cool things we have in the works- and we still have people calling in for projects over the next week. It is really fun to see how excited and relieved everyone gets when they pick up the finished project- not only have they gotten rid of the stress of finding someone a gift, they also helped create it and know that it is an awesome gift!
But enough about that- I don't want to give away what any top secret gifts are!
So, since I have neglected to write Friday Fun Facts over the past few weeks, here are a few fun holiday facts to impress your friends at the next get-together:
*Talk about last minute! "A Christmas Carol" was written in under six weeks by Charles Dickens.
*"Jingle Bells" was first written as a Thanksgiving song.
* Poinsettia plants are non-toxic... it is probably still best to keep your pups away from it, though.
* The first state to recognize Christmas as an official holiday in 1836 was Alabama.
* The idea for Santa's elves came from pagan descriptions of "Nature Folk"
*If you count up the total number of gifts in the song "Twelve Days of Christmas," there are 364 total- almost a year's worth!
Have a great week- and don't get too bogged down with holiday stress!
