DID YOU PLACE YOUR THANKSGIVING ORDER YET?!?!? HUH?!?!?! DIDJA DIDJA DIDJA?!?!?!
I have to lead with that because even though I thought Thanksgiving was an entire week away, we’ve apparently already skipped straight ahead to Christmas. I stopped into Starbucks today and the carols were blasting, the decorations were everywhere, and Thanksgiving blend has already been put in the vault in favor of Christmas roast (which tastes remarkably like elf blood and cheer! It’s delicious!).
I’m glad “the man” made me switch to a more joyful coffee a bit prematurely, because today I began the build out of our space at the Union Square Holiday Market! It’s painted a lovely shade of paint called Red Velvet (not kidding). I assembled all our Flurms and Shmurgens from Ikea and the table my dad custom made for us in a 25 square foot booth, and strung up 1100 Christmas lights so our booth glows like the sun. That last part is really important as I managed to get lost in the market 7 times today, so I want to give you guys a chance to find us.
Even in the first day of build-out, this market is already one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. I cannot wait for you guys to come down and visit us.
So while I was busting my ass getting the booth all ready to go for you guys, what was Matt doing to put you guys in the Christmas spirit?
Yep. Christmas spirit.
He also put a shirt on and made these cupcakes, and what do you know, there’s a new fall flavor in there! Trotting it out for you to love it, just to cruelly rip it away at the end of the week and forcing it into the depths of the vault! We can be such jerks sometimes!
