Wow, Joie de Blog's second Happy New Year post - time flies! And it's 2011 - time really flies ! This year, for some reason, I thought briefly about opening the store today. All the big stores are open, as are most of the stores in the Porter Square mall, just a minute away. Maybe I was thinking we could make up for our lost snow days last week, maybe because this year the first is on Saturday. I don't really know, but I know my usual adamant opposition to opening on New Year's Day faltered a bit. In the end, I decided not to, and was happy to find that none of our immediate neighbors - Susanna, Nomad, Cambridge Clog, etc were opening. And as I took a long walk this morning on this beautiful first day of the year, I was even happier that reason prevailed. I do still believe that some days should be shopping free - with the exception of such essentials as milk, newspapers and bandaids of course. (If a windup jumping mouse or a yodeling pickle is on your list of essentials today, feel free to bang on our door - I'm in here for awhile cleaning up and taking down the holiday displays.) Happy New Year to our readers . . . and see you tomorrow!
