AHoliday Shopping Poem

Dashing through the snow, in a Saratoga open sleigh; O’er the fields I go, shopping all the way. My bags are filled and tied, with spirits big and bright. What fun it is to tell you all the adventures I’ve had tonight, oh! Jingle Bells, downtown swells of cheer and festivities, Oh, what fun it is to shop for my friends and family, hey!

My first stop was to see The Apres-Ski Basket sold at the,

TOGA HERITAGE FLAGSHIP STORE

Filled with goodies for you and me!

A Fireside Candle to spark the night And a Sign to say I’ve Gone, Skiing through the hills with glee Starry skies to gaze upon.

Back home I snuggled tight With a Turkish Blanket and Tumbler I chatter, Serving cookies to my friends On an Avenue of the Pines Platter!

Oh, Jingle Bells, downtown swells Of cheer and festivities, Oh, what fun it is to shop For my friends and family, hey!

Now take a ride with me To FINISHING TOUCHES on High Street Their Ballston Spa location is grand I can hardly control my tweet. But what do I see hanging there, A Teak Horse Head hits the spot. To gift upon my friends who love Equestrian goodies they have sought.

Oh, Jingle Bells, downtown swells Of cheer and festivities, Oh, what fun it is to shop For my friends and family, hey! TOGA HERITAGE
