I don't know about you, but I do not believe the summer is gone.  I still have so many plans that I
have not gone through with.  I was in the store a few weeks ago and started to see hints of "holiday".It started with the Halloween items like skeletons, and candies.  Little by little more things started appearing!  Costumes and screaming monsters hanging from the ceiling! Wow!   Then the "Thanksgiving" scene mysteriously started showing up.  Autumn leaves, orange, yellowsand browns on assorted dishes and serving platters?  Oh no!  I still have my bathing suites in the closet!  Well that's not so bad, considering we do live in sunny Florida.  Well it is full blown Holiday Season in all the stores.  Christmas trees complete with beautiful arrangementsof ornaments, garland and angles.  It is so lovely though.  I see so many people with smiles on their facesas they brows the isles.  Well, I guess it was inevitable though.  It just seems the holidays seem to be coming sooner and the summer seems to be getting shorter and shorter?  I hope everyone enjoyed their summer vacations.  I personally had a very interesting summer.  Stillhave a list of things I haven't done yet, but I guess it will all work out.  At this time I am getting ready for the upcoming holidays.  For me it is never too early to start my preparations.  I do love this time of year.  I am in the process of placing gourmet food orders, lookingfor the "specialty" items that I love to include in my gift baskets, especially at this time of year!  Please keep in mind, It is never too early to place your orders.  I do offer a coupon for placing holidayorders early.  To find out more you can use the "talk to me" area or email me direct to: francinekunder@aol.com    Your emails will be answered withing 24 hours.  Enjoy each and every momentFrancine KunderBrooklyn Gourmet Gift Basketswww.brooklynbasketsinc.comfrancinekunder@aol.com
