With an amber jeweled cross in his right hand, the Fairy of Faith reminds us of the true & only reason for our Christmas Season…the joyous celebration of our faith through the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

We are often reminded to count our blessings and in this magical season of joy, from all of my staff, we would like to thank you for your support and wish you a Very Merry Christmas.

The Joy of Giving Fairy shown here is an outward expression of my own feelings about giving.  It is said that it is better to give than receive and so often that is true.

Once a year, we open my warehouse doors for a sale event, selling off slightly (and sometimes very) irregular or damaged items from my Home Collection & Christmas decor lines.  We even include a few Fairies, but these are actually a very small part of the sale event.  We sell odd lots & last of a kind items…all at a very deep discount and only for one day a year.  My staff even donates their time…yes, they arrive at 5:30am and work for free all day long.  Why you may ask?

Because we donate nearly 100% of the sales to various local charities.  If you click on the photo to the right, you can see some pictures of the presentations we made to some terrific organizations in our local community.  My staff & I had great joy in supporting & giving:

• $7,500 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Orange County/Inland Empire in Southern California.
• $7,500 to the Children’s Hospital of Orange County…also know as CHOC Hospital.  The gift is designated towards the oncology (cancer) department.
• $7,500 to Olive Crest Children’s Home in Santa Ana.
• $7.500 to Taller San Jose (St. Joseph’s Workshop) which works with young people who have gotten into trouble with the law or mixed up with gangs & drugs.  They train them for and place them in the job market.
• $6,000 in children’s toys for Toys for Tots, the great organization run by our United States Marines.

Now that my signing tour has come to an end, we are tirelessly working on our new Spring catalog.

Just in time to help decorate the tree this year, is this fabulous Ornament Fairy.  He is ready to hand off the ornaments and willing to be a beautiful decoration as well.  He is a Limited Edition and if you click on his picture you will see all the other beautiful Christmas Fairies we have to offer.  Remember, each has a special Limited Edition number and their own registration cards.  It’s very important to fill these cards out and mail them in.  So, if someone you know is lucky enough to receive one for Christmas, make sure to remind them to fill out their cards and mail them in. This is a good way to be notified of all our updates and new item releases.  You will also receive our new Catalog and 2010 Calendar!!

I also have a new Facebook account!  You can friend me at www.facebook.com.  Signing up is free and easy!  Hope to chat with you soon!

My National Signing Tour goes into the “final stretch” with events in Santa Ana, San Diego, Seattle, Thousand Oaks & Redlands through December 6th. I really am a lucky guy because I get to see so many great cities throughout our land and meet so many great American Patriots!  I find that there is one common thread throughout my tour…that the American people truly are a good people.  I got to tour the Rays of Hope facility in Midland, TX, which is a children’s grief center.  I learned of their innovative yet common sensible approach to helping children in grief (www.raysofhopemidland.org).  I got to spend some special time with 2 collectors in Kansas (one of whom is a patient at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital).  I met a terrific person in Houston who works with special needs kids and is passionate about it.

Meeting so many fans is always a treat for me, so I want to thank the many of you who have turned out or will be turning out on the “final stretch” of my National Signing Tour.  To the left are just a few of the favorites that people seem to be enthralled with this year.  The Stocking Fairy and the Sweet Tooth Elf have been hot commodities this year and somewhat difficult to get in certain towns.  They are both festively and appropriately attired for the season and are some of my very favorites.  Hope you like them too!
