Pugly Wugly

As you've probably noticed, I am happy to announce that we have moved the Hocus Pocus blog to Google's Bloglines! We did this to accomodate those who use Macs and PCs alike and who may already subscribe to blogs. You'll can now be notified whenever this blog is updated. All you need is the free and tiny program aptly called Bloglines Notifier, which can be downloaded here. Don't worry; it's adware-free and won't take up any memory and space on your computer. Once you install it, simply subscribe to this blog, and you will be notified every time we update it. Cool, isn't it? Ah, the times...

Meet Mugsy. He's my brand new 3 year-old pug that was adopted by the Gross family. Isn't he cute?



He's a great addition to our family, and our other dog, Buddy, seems to really enjoy his newfound friend. We've been looking for a pug to adopt for the last few years, and we'd all but given up until Mugsy came into our lives last Saturday. Looks like there will be another stocking hanging on the ol' Christmas hearth at the Gross Family household.

Here we are, less than two weeks away from Christmas, and what a whirlwind this month has been! We've been here seven days a week and as early as 5:00 AM to get your orders packed and shipped out right on time. I want to say special thanks to all of you who have sent Christmas cards and well wishes via email. My office wall is covered with them and both my staff and I love to read them as they come in.

Remember, it's easy to get crazy during this harried and hurried time of year. Please be sure to take time out for yourself and with your family and remember that they are most important!
