HAPPY NEW YEAR

Greetings!

There was an afternoon just before Christmas Eve, where I dashed out on my lunch break to do some last minute shopping downtown.   I was thrilled!  You know why?  There were "CITY SIDEWALKS, BUSY SIDEWALKS, DRESSED IN HOLIDAY STYLE!"  That is why!  Wellington Avenue and Mill Street was busy with shoppers, the window displays were beautiful and festive, the air was crisp and fresh and things just felt right.   It truly was a 'feel good' moment.  I hope YOU had a few of those moments as well!

On the eve of the New Year, I usually do some reminiscing about what has passed.......the last weeks in December are usually so very busy and FULL of activity, and can become sort of a blur.  Christmas comes and goes and then we find ourselves ringing in the NEW YEAR! 

Allow me to acknowledge something before the old year ends.  Thank you to each and every one of you who continue to support small independant retailers, in particular the community of Chilliwack.  Thank you to all the downtown merchants and others, who work tirelessly to provide opportunity to the people in Chilliwack by offering something MORE!  Thank you to all who helped make our year at GRAHAM'S not only successful, but memorable.  We are grateful for all the smiles, all the stories, visits, hugs, and all the treats and goodies you bring to us!  Truly!

As we move forward into 2012 my wish and the wish from all of us at GRAHAM'S  for you, is good health and happiness.  So simple, but true.  Thank you  again, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Bye for now,

Erica
