Christmas is almost here, and if you’re shopping for a present, it’s probably too late now to expect it to arrive before “the big day”. I’m grateful for your support this year, and especially the last couple months. Business is good. Since I started GayHankies.com three years ago, this has been the biggest and best year ever.

I’m taking some time off and “closing” the store around Christmas. I will be away and not be processing any orders after the morning of Friday, December 22. You can still place orders on the web site, but I will not run them against your credit card account, nor will I be shipping packages. I will, however, check in from time to time to answer emails and take care of your questions.

I am hoping to reopen the web site on January 3, 2007, but this date is not certain. Why? My partner and I are attempting to relocate our home and business from Galveston Island to a location closer to Houston. Anyone familiar with buying and selling homes knows that things can happen very quickly, except when they happen very slowly. Wish us luck.

And while I’m at it, I wish all of you good fortune and happiness in the coming year, and once again, thank you for your support. This business is built on you, my customers and yes, friends.
