Christmas Spirit, Christmas Shop, Ornaments, Trees, Tree Skirts, Lights, Garlands, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware
Last December I wrote about this shop, Christmas Spirit, which is an institution here in Rehoboth Beach and in Ocean City, Maryland. It has been here for 32 years. The Rehoboth store is located at 161 Rehoboth Ave., Tel. 302-227-6872. The Manager of the store is Jill Hudson.
The store in Ocean City is located at 3400 Coastal Highway; that store has been there for 21 years.
Today is the 23rd of December. I cannot believe that I have waited this long. The tree is not up yet but will be in the morning.
There were a couple of reasons why I went to the Christmas Spirit. One was to find garlard because I am trying to get away with just lights and garland this year. Something simple but elegant.
The other reason is to get into the Christmas spirit. If this store cannot get you into it, then you might as well hang it up.
The ladies that work the Christmas Spirit were there, as usual. It was quiet and they told me I was really last minute this year. These ladies told me that they are the busiest in July and August, which is the height of the season.
So many ornaments and decorations and so many themes, as well. I slowly walked through the store and I took pictures of the different decorated corners. I gravitated to the trees and decorations that had to do with the ocean.
I was not there long, since other shopping needed to be accomplished. But the store did put me on that magical mood of the holidays.
They are there tomorrow in case you need that last minute ornament or gift. Otherwise, they do open year-round.
It has been so cold at the beaches. As I typed this post I could hear the wind outdoors but all I want to wish all of you, that have been reading my blog, is a beautiful Christmas, thanks a million, and a Feliz Navidad.
Talk to you later….like tomorrow….
