Back in May, I had lunch with my editor who asked me why I didn't write about winter in Stoneham. The answer is simple, because I don't live in Southern New Hampshire and I don't KNOW what winter in New Hampshire is like. He thought I could probably fake it.
Well, I'm not writing about winter, but I am currently writing about November in New Hampshire. And what do retailers do in November? They ramp up for Christmas holiday shopping. Even in little stores like Haven't Got a Clue.
So what is Tricia doing in this story? Decorating with the help of her staff . . . and hopefully it'll be funny.
What's fun for me about this is she's decorating her store with some of my own decorations. Think of her front window with a few of these little cuties.
Vintage ornaments in a store that sells vintage mysteries. But that's not the only kind of vintage decorations going up at Haven't Got a Clue. And she's being aided by a woman who would willingly wear this kind of Christmas apparel.
Oh yes, I'm having fun with this one.
What's the first thing you put up in the way of holiday decorations?

The first thing I put up are my window displays.
ReplyDeleteHave to chuckle -- I LOVE LED lights & I bought a string of LED snowflakes to put in our front windows. Well ... I just HAD to check them out to see if they really did light up as they were advertised, so -- I've hung them on the bookcase in my office & am enjoying them even as I type!! (OK, so I'm nuts, but since it isn't even Thanksgiving, I can't very well hang them downstairs yet. Can I?)
