A special airing December 7 at 8pm on HGTV lists Mackinac Island as Number 6 in their list of "Top Ten Christmas Towns." The criteria for appearing in the top ten was that a town had to have a Christmas celebration that was unique. Mackinac Island certainly fits that bill with all of the horse-drawn sleighs and isolated quietness in a normally busy time of the year. Read more about it at HGTV.com.
This week's poll question has to do with Thanksgiving. The results from last week's poll regarding when you start listening to Christmas music led to a final result of 'after Thanksgiving' garnering the most votes. [poll id=7]

Things are tough all over and in Michigan we've been feeling the pinch longer than the rest of the nation. It seems nearly every day I see a news blip about food banks having to turn folks away because they can't keep up with the demand. I'm asking that in honor of this being the season of Thanksgiving that everyone make a donation to their local food bank. Whether it's monetary or just a grocery sack of assorted food items - lets show everyone that the folks here in Michigan band together and help each other out. We will keep on donating 1% of every sale to the Food Bank Council of Michigan. They even let you donate online at their website www.fbcmich.org.
We already dropped off food at the local high school that is running a food drive. My next stop is the local library that is also collecting food donations and selling reusable grocery bags for $4 with $2 going to the local food bank.
If you are unsure of what types of food and other necessary items to donate here's a brief list to get you started.
When in doubt, just ask yourself what you would like to eat in an emergency.
Order your Michigan gift baskets early and choose the "Hold for December 18th Shipment" to avoid waiting to the last minute to place your gift orders this Christmas. Last year we had a huge increase in the number of customers who took advantage of this feature. I actually had someone place an order after the particular basket they wanted was no longer in stock and they said that they had looked at it back in November and knew that was the one they wanted, but they wanted to have it delivered closer to Christmas so they waited. I apologized for the basket being out of stock (they placed the order anyway and called it a Happy New Year Gift Basket) and let her know that we have a great feature that helps you to avoid waiting too long and either having the gift basket be out of stock or not being guaranteed of a Christmas delivery.
Visit our 2008 Christmas Shipping Calendar for all the details and information on where in the checkout you choose the "hold" option. We're working hard to not run out of inventory this year, but we can never predict when a particular gift basket will "get hot" and sell out. It tends to surprise me each year which Michigan gift basket is the top seller for the Christmas season.
We'll be putting up our entire selection of Christmas themed gift baskets this weekend so stay tuned! These baskets will only be available until Christmas. We've got some great new products added to the mix this year and can't wait to show you.
I had hopes of getting out yesterday and taking some pictures of the gorgeous snowfall we had yesterday, but alas, too many gift baskets to build and ship (which is not a problem). By the time I was done it was dark and I was tired.
However, a quick search on flickr.com turned up this gem from the Kalamazoo area. I love the stark contrast of the very red berries and pure white snow.
