Thousand Lights

i mourn my dead
even as i know
they have not died
indeed they yet live
in the flame
lit by them
in tinder:
memories..

when at last
my own flame
flickers
and goes out
i know
they’ll dance brighter still
in the thousand lights
i’ll leave behind

Can you believe it? Seems like i am still trying to shake that New Year’s champagne hangover from ‘07, and here it is almost Christmas with New Year ‘08 just behind it! Boy, how time flies.. Ok, so i am willing to admit that personally i am feeling nowhere near ready for all this holiday hooplah. In spite of this, we managed to rope our very own sleigh load of goodies as it was flying down from the North Pole. Santa has taken really, really good care of us.

 This makes it official: Christmas has landed here at BiZi Bee Floral & Gifts! Need holiday decor for the home? Check it out: we have mouth blown, hand painted ornaments, Fiber optic trees and ornaments, Kugels(marble ornaments from India), beautiful “one of a kind” tree toppers, and more.

Ok, so not to beat a dead horse..i know i mentioned we have ornaments…but bear with me.. i need to gush some more about our selection. We even have “Babies First Xmas” ornaments, Pickle ornaments, Bee ornaments, frog ornaments, Hearts, unicorns, horses, elephants,  Buddha shape Buddhist monk ornaments, Santa Claus, roller blade and sports ornaments, dog and cat ornaments, fish, camels, turtles, seals, fruit, “Best Teacher” ornaments, ornaments for your musician, and even an “When Pigs Fly” ornament.  Also we have tradional multi-colored globes and other traditional Xmas ornaments.

 Ornaments are by no means our only item. We also carry a snow globe,  high quality multicolor flashing Xmas lights, and we’ll make sure to have some pics to show you of Heather’s incredible Xmas and New Year holiday flower arrangements(these btw you can  send anywhere through our network of floral shops). She made a winter season centerpiece that was so uniquely exquisite i think it would be right at home on Bill and Melinda Gates’ table..good news is you don’t have to be Bill to buy it. It could be made for a reasonable price.

 Need garland to trim your home? Want to avoid the mess up of cleaning up pine needles but need a quality artificial tree? What about a classy wreath to welcome your family and friends? Then come on down here to Lake City and check us out. Support your local indie flower and gift shop. I promise Wal-mart won’t miss the business, and you’ll find quality here that you won’t find anywhere else. 

 Before i forget let me remind you we have Christmas cards, and hand made chocolate..chocolate that as it melts will bring your mouth to a peak..You’ll be like YES! YES! It’s Christmas and i am want the world to know it!

 If you don’t need any of these things, then who do you know that does? Isn’t that the point? To share joy with others? Christmas has gotten so commercial.. Everyones’ attic is probably filling up with more junk by the year.  The nice thing about the gifts we are carrying this holiday season? It isn’t junk! We’d like to encourage you to invest in merchandise that is heirloom quality. You know, goodies that you’d want to pass down to future generations.

 One more thing: if you don’t live in Seattle, but like our stuff we are more than happy to ship it to or for you!

So tell us, what do you want Santa to bring you this year?
