Happy Holidays!



Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  Here we all are, gathered around the fuse box at the back of Othello's, where we held our annual CB Christmas dinner/drinks/Dirty Santa party!
From left to right, Holly Forsyth (our newest, youngest CB family member), Sandy Clopton, behind them is Maurice Galoob, our fearless leader and my husband of 39+ years, Shannon Macko, Rachel Forsyth rubbing the shoulders of Marcy Gonzales, Melissa Dowling, our long time manager, and moi. 
We have had a tremendous season, and the reason we all look so 'happy' is because we ARE!
Thank you to all of you who have helped us grow this year.  We're looking forward to another record-setting year, and we appreciate each and every one of you.
We are continuing our tradition of closing the day after Christmas, which affords us atleast two days (in this case, three!) to spend relaxing with family.
We'll be open again Monday, the 28th, and we'll have our half price Christmas madness sale.  Everything Christmas (from Godiva chocolates to pre-lit trees to holiday cards) will be half price.  It's usually a madhouse for about three days, then things start to settle in back to normal.  Sometimes I wish December lasted all year! 
We're also going to close the entire weekend of New Year's.  Inventory calls, and we're not immune to a good nap now and then!  Regular biz hours will resume on Monday, January 4th, 2010!!!!  My, my...where did this year go?!?!
Hope your holidays are merry....be safe and warm, and let the love from your families keep you warm throughout the season!
