It’s incredible how quickly another year is passing us by here in Texas, but a quick glance at the calendar is all the reminder we need that the holidays will be here before we know it. But instead of dwelling on time passing quickly, it’s important to embrace the most wonderful time of the year! 

You’ve seen all things Thanksgiving and Christmas already on display every time you visit the store. It won’t be long until you see lights and inflatables on display all over East Texas. After the stress of this year, I’m excited to welcome the holidays and all the comes with the busy time of year.
