Afternoon lovely people. I hope you're all doing well and feeling fine. Everyone getting ready for the holiday? We have been doing just that. Just wanted to drop in and wish you all a very Merry Christmas Eve Eve. I leave you with 3 of my fave poems by Edgar Guest.
A man is at his finest towards the finish of the year; He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season's here; Then he's thinking more of others than he's thought the months before, And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for. He is less a selfish creature than at any other time; When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime... ~Edgar A. Guest, "At Christmas," Just Folks, 1917 _______________ If I could have my wish to‑night it would not be for wealth or fame, It would not be for some delight that men who live in luxury claim, But it would be that I might rise at three or four a.m. to see, With eager, happy, boyish eyes, my presents on the Christmas tree. Throughout this world there is no joy, I know now I am growing gray, So rich as being just a boy, a little boy on Christmas Day. ~Edgar A. Guest, "A Boy at Christmas," 1913 _______________ For Christmas comes but once a year, When harvesting is ended; With merry din, the day comes in, By love and mirth attended; The children dance and shout with glee, The eyes of all are beaming, And high above the Christmas tree The Star of Hope is gleaming. ~Edgar A. Guest, "Christmas Comes but Once a Year," The Friendly Way, 1931 #MerryChristmas #HappyHolidays #SantaClaus #JoyToTheWorld #PeaceOnEarth

Good Morning Awesome Humans & Happy Monday! Hope you're all doing great & feeling fine. Yes, you already know I cannot function unless my lips are firmly attached to the coffee keg & they are. Just wanted to check in on what I hope will be a supercalifragilistic Christmas holiday week for all. We have a ton of new stuff in the shop/s (could not fit everything in the pic). We've had some great sales, as well. (Last two lines in the pic). We put our Ebay shop on 20% off till whenever, for now (more sales events later). We've got more inventory coming in & the old has to get to steppin'. lol. Can you believe Christmas is almost here? The new year is close at hand. Holy Cow! Do you have any traditions for the holiday? Making cookies, sipping hot chocolate together, crafts, etc. We have a few small ones we started a few years ago & have come to mean alot to us. Making/painting ornaments, decorating gingerbread cookies, etc. Time to get the rear in gear. I hope you're day is a fantastic one for you. Sending a ton of #positivevibes your way. https://linktr.ee/brokelifethrift
