The Christmas Spirit is in the town of Rehoboth Beach…at the Delaware Beaches…and Ocean City, Maryland…
Sometimes it is taken for granted that we are supposed to automatically get into the spirit of the Holidays. There are years when I am ready to start and others like this one, where, I am asking: What’s the rush?
So, it has been a cold Sunday and even though last week I wished the weather would be a little cooler, I did not expect it to get this cold. Now it is even going to be harder to decorate outdoors. Oh well, it will be done.
I had the idea to visit the Christmas Spirit in downtown Rehoboth Beach. Their address is 161 Rehoboth Ave., Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971. The tel. is 302-227-6872.
Well, upon entering the store I knew that this shop would really inspire me into getting into the spirit of the Holidays. And, if that did not do it, then nothing would and I would be in trouble.
Christmas Spirit is a good size store. The decorations are so pretty. The different rooms and corners show decorations for every imaginable taste. Some areas are arranged by themes, like the music area. If you have a musician in your family, you will find all kinds of ornaments for him or her. There is another corner for the sport oriented person. Or, your tree is decorated in a coastal theme.
Maybe you are giving a first ornament to a newborn. Or it is someone’s first anniversary or a new home. Possibly, you have been invited to a dinner party and need a hostess gift. How about a present for a Secret Santa? Or, you have decided to start an ornament collection for someone. Christmas Spirit has an ornament for every occasion.
I like to attach an ornament to a wrapped present. It adds a personal touch. Through the years friends and family have given me ornaments and I cherish them more and more as time goes by.
I was noticing all the different tree skirts and garlands that were available; some more traditional than others.
The ladies that work at Christmas Spirit are all very friendly and helpful. Jill Hudson is the Manager and she was telling me that the Rehoboth location has been there for 31 years.
But, wait a minute. I almost forgot to tell you that if you live in Ocean City, Maryland and surrounding areas, Christmas Spirit has a store at 3400 Coastal Highway; great address. This store has been there for over 20 years. The telephone is 410-289-6101.
Please remember that Monday, December 7th is the Rehoboth Beach Christmas Parade, starting at 6:30 p.m. Line-up starts at 4 p.m. The parade begins at State Rd.
And, if you really want your Christmas cards to be a conversation piece, then you can drive to the town of Bethlehem near Easton, Maryland and have them postmarked there. From Rehoboth is about a 45 minute drive through the back roads.
Happy Holidays y Feliz Navidad
