“Christmas is the season of joy, of holiday greetings exchanged, of gift-giving, and of families united.’ – Norman Vincent Peale
With Christmas upon us we have hope. Hope for our fellow mankind, especially reading all of the Christmas cards and emails you all have sent us. We offer our heartfelt thanks for your cards and well wishes. It brings great joy for all of us at EHS that we not only have such great loyal customers, but above all great friends!
I have been blessed to spend the last week at my son’s home in Minnesota. This has been the first time I have been able to spend the days prior to Christmas off with my family since opening the store in 2002. I owe a debt of gratitude to the staff at EHS to make this possible. They all agreed to put in some extra time to make up for my absence which I am eternally grateful. As I checked in each evening, it appears that EHS runs better without me, so THANKS guys! With this stated, I hope and pray all of you have an opportunity to spend time with your loved ones this Christmas season.
For fifty+ years Linus still sums up Christmas very clearly:
"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, 'Fear not for behold, I bring unto you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the City of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.' And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, 'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.' That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown."
From all of us at EHS, we would like to wish you all a very blessed Christmas and hope all of you will experience the JOY of Christmas, and carry it throughout the coming year!
Another reason for hope is that the amount of light gets greater now that we have passed the Winter solstice. 😊 Hmmm… why does it get colder if there’s more sunlight???
