Show Me Christmas

To preserve all your precious ornaments and ensure they don’t become broken or damaged, there are a few steps necessary to take.  First pack glass ornaments in a box separate from other ornaments.  Place the glass ornaments in their individual boxes or crates if applicable, and otherwise wrap them in tissue.  Fill the box with newspaper and tissue, ensuring the glass ornaments cannot move or rub against each other.  For other ornaments made of wood or metal, they can be placed in the same box, and wrapped in tissue should you see fit.  It is unlikely wood or metal ornaments will break unless they have small parts.  For garlands, silks, or plush items, these can all be placed in the same box with minimal separation. 

When storing Christmas ornaments, ensure the boxes are kept in a cool, dry place to avoid damage to the contents inside.  Basements are preferable to attics, as attics often heat up during summer months.

The pig is honored as a traditional Victorian holiday symbol representing good health, prosperity and happiness. The peppermint (pink) pig originated in Saratoga, New York.

Originally cast in hard candy similar to a festive pink candy cane, it came to represent even more. It stood for old-fashioned Yuletide, a wondrful time to share memories through the gathering of friends and relatives.
