Christmas Gift Distribution

Ok, so what if I'm in Miami, looking over the bay, with wispy clouds, far away jetliners, and soundless sailboats cruising the coast.

Every year we at Catskill Farms come up with some sort of branded Christmas gift - one year was a cooking apron, one year an oven mitt, one year a baseball cap and this year a thermometer. Like I said last post, or the post before, it's not as easy as it used to be - takes a serious commitment to get them ordered, bagged, delivered.

So here we are nearing the middle of January and I still have a bunch to still deliver. It was fun to circle back to all homes as I deliver them, especially since they were newly covered with snow. I come across all sorts of scenes of people enjoying their homes - be a snowman in the backyard, a new custom ax Bill got as a Christmas gift, a sled on the front porch, socks on the mudroom radiator.
