Well, it's our last post before the holidays. The Jewelry Stringing team will be taking next week off in order to celebrate the season with our families and loved ones. For me, this means driving to my parents'
home in Wisconsin with my husband and 100-pound puppy dog, who has
grown so much since the first Christmas he spent with us three years ago
(see photo). I'm looking forward to walks through snowy parks, brandy
alexanders, and visits with friends I haven't seen in over a year.
Here's what the rest of the team is up to. Do you have any special plans?

Debbie Blair
(Managing Editor): All
of my favorite holiday moments each year take place on Christmas Eve. I’m most
looking forward to Christmas Eve services at my church, specifically near the
end of the service when all of the lights are dimmed, each person lights their
candle from the person next to them, and the mass of people sings “Silent
Night.” I also love baking cookies with my four-year-old and setting them out
for Santa, then having her take a peek on Christmas morning to see how many he
ate!

Chloe Chatenever
(Assistant Editor):
The holidays are always full of crafts for my family. Whether we are dipping
beeswax candles, folding paper star ornaments, or needle felting, we all like
having something fun to do with our hands while we visit and catch up. The time
that we spend making things together is always what I look forward to the most
every year. Over Thanksgiving, my mom and aunts were admiring a pair of
earrings I made, so I ordered enough materials to teach them all how to make
their own when I see them at Christmas!

Kate Wilson
(Project Editor): I’m
most looking forward to spending time with my Dad, brother, nephews, cousins,
and the rest of my family—we have a large family, and it’s fun to watch
everyone playfully banter back and forth over a table full of food.
