Happy Saint Patrick's Day!


The Shamrock is a symbol of the cross and the Holy Trinity. It has also been a symbol of Ireland and is said to be used by St. Patrick in his teaching. By showing how the three separate leaves of the shamrock were joined by one stem, he was able to show the people how God could be three in one.

School's Out! Spring Holidays!

Reward that special teacher with this great new ornament from Old World Christmas, and maybe she'll come back after Spring Holidays!

A beautiful, ripe apple is a traditional gift to a favorite teacher. It started years ago in New England when teachers were usually paid in foodstuffs. This glass apple, perched on a stack of books, makes a perfect thank you gift or keepsake for a special teacher.

It is the centerpiece of today's Thanksgiving dinner, which commemorates the first Thanksgiving in 1621, when the Pilgrims and the Native Americans shared a harvest meal. Ben Franklin championed the turkey as our national symbol, but the bald eagle won!
