Spellmaker NewsletterNovember 2018________________________________Hi, everyone! It's CyberMonday at http://www.spellmaker.com ! Most items are 35% off, even sale items. Best of all, you don't need a pesky code - the discount will be taken off automatically at checkout. Shipping is, as always, free on orders over $25.00 in the USA. (Please note: Because we serve customers in many time zones across the world, our CyberMonday pricing will extend through to midnight Tuesday Mountain Time.)
To our Canadian customers: We are still being told not to ship to Canada yet due to the mail strike. However, if you desire to purchase for the CyberMonday sale, we will hold your order until we get the green light to ship. That way, you can take advantage of the savings. :-)
Meanwhile, 'tis the season for lots of holidays coming up. It is an amazing holiday season with lots of different holidays that we can all share and learn about. Few months present the multicultural holidays that December (into January) does! The following multicultural events and celebrations are among those that happen around this time of year:- Saint Nicholas Day (Christian)
- Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe (Mexican)
- St. Lucia Day (Swedish)
- Hanukkah (Jewish)
- Christmas Day (Christian)
- Three Kings Day/Epiphany (Christian)
- Boxing Day (Australian, Canadian, English, Irish)
- Kwanzaa (African American)
- Omisoka (Japanese)
- Yule (Pagan)
- Saturnalia (Pagan)
Even though there is a movement to always say Merry Christmas (which I do love Christmas being my birthday and all), Happy Holidays seems more inclusive and fun to me. Plus, if we don't know someone so well, we don't always know what holidays they might be celebrating.
As Vodouisants, we are pretty lucky - we end up celebrating almost all the holidays for one reason or another. :-) Lucky us! More fun to be had.
In the end, I think that we should say what we think suits us, and those around us, best and hope for others to do the same. This time of year should be about peace, goodwill, and love towards our fellow humans. Let's not quibble over how we express that! :-)
We wish you a most peaceful and wonderful holiday season, whatever that means to you and yours. Love, light, and peace, Mambo Samantha Corfield Parran Matt Corfield Sister Bridget Corfield Brother Menfo Sister Sierra ...the Khouzhan Class |
