By now, we’ve all heard “Feliz Navidad” for the hundredth time as we wait a half an hour in line at the store for that last minute gift. Yepp, it’s the home stretch; three days until Christmas! Now, I know I’ve been neglecting my dear readers, and for that, I apologize. Since my last post, I have been deep in the trenches of scholarly knitty-gritty, but that’s over and done with for now! I’m free for a WHOLE month! I must say I cannot wait for December 25th. Next to Halloween, Christmas is my favorite holiday. The lights, the trees, the decorations, the cold, the smell of pine coming from the Christmas centerpieces, they all fill me with a sense of child-like wonder. It truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Friends come together for jolly merriment; families gather to decorate the tree and sing carols. I think what I like most about Christmas Day is the sense of peace and tranquility that washes over the normally bustling metropolis of Marlton. Working in a flower shop makes my week before the main event extremely hectic, so I always find Christmas morning extremely relaxing. The mad rush is over until Valentine’s Day, it’s time for… PRESENTS! My youth comes back with vengeance Christmas morning. No matter how late I was out the night before, this is the only day I will voluntarily get out of bed before noon. I actually enjoy giving presents more than receiving them. There’s nothing better than that feeling of finding the perfect present for someone and witnessing the joy on their face when they open it, no?
On behalf of everyone here at Bakanas Flowers, we would like to extend the warmest holiday wishes to everyone. For Behind The Scenes: The Bakanas Flowers Edition, I’ll see you next year.
