A Welcome Visitor at Galleria Christmas Eve


























A highlight of the holiday season is a visit from a former employee and friend, Shirley, who along with husband Alan, drop off their traditional box of homemade toffee. It. is. lethal to the body, trust me. I restrained myself this year, puts you in sugar shock. Thanks Shirley, Happy New Year!!!!

Looks Like Snowflakes: Cathy Waterman to Thrill!


How can my Google calendar say "No events today" when I'm up and off to the store to help pick, gift wrap, and ship!

Chanukah, Oh Chanukah in the Middle of Galleria Dallas


Such a treat to have Chabad Rabbi Dubrowsky and the Akiba singers light the Chanukah candles in the middle of Galleria. The menorah is unarguably the biggest in Texas, and maybe the U.S.? Very beautiful.
