Even after they’ve been printed out the colors still pop on both of these flyers!

Now that the booking floodgates have opened, I wanted to let everyone know that all of our shows at the Falcons and the Shriners are at least 50% sold out already. And each of our February shows only have a small handful of unpaid spots remaining. So if you wanted to get into either of them, this weekend might be your last chance!

Join us for our first show of 2025 on Saturday, February 1st from 11:00-3:00 at the Ismailia Shriners in West Seneca to see the wonderful creations by our local artisans & small businesses as we step into the new year!

While I prep all of our Facebook events for this year, it’s time to make our next announcement!

2025 will be the 8th year we’ve been booking with the Falcons, and we’ve made a deal with the Polish Falcons Ladies Auxiliary to have lunch available for purchase during our February and March shows!

So if you want to grab lunch, you won’t need to go out into the cold, or even come up into the lobby. The window to their kitchen will open directly into the hall where Table 40 usually sits in Row 1.

01/01/2025

Since we are officially in 2025, it's time to start announcing what will be new for this year! First of all: show bookings! As you can see, there are a lot more flyers than usual. That is because we've added three new locations this year and they are all booking NOW!

First off, our usual haunt: the Polish Falcons in Depew. Since there is always an overabundance of things to do in Buffalo during the summer months, I've decided to remove our July & August shows for this year. But we're still holding nine shows there throughout the year.
-February 8th
-March 8th
-April 5th
-May 3rd
-June 7th
-September 13th
-October 11th
-November 15th
-December 13th

Next up: the Ismailia Shriners in West Seneca! This location is in a very high traffic area right on Southwestern blvd, so I'm excited for this one, but I've only decided to pick up two shows early in the year. If they go well, maybe you'll see more for the end of the year!
-February 1st
-April 12th

Third we have the Matthew Glab Post in Lackawanna. We're doing one show here the Saturday before Easter and there will be a meet & greet with the Easter Bunny as well as an Easter egg hunt at noon.
-April 19th

Lastly, we received very good feedback after our show at the Knights in North Tonawanda before Thanksgiving, and I was able to secure three spots there at the end of the year!
-October 18th
-November 22nd
-December 6th

So, as of right now, we will be holding a total of 15 shows across 4 towns in 2025 which are ALL open for booking NOW! And this is just the first of many new announcements you’ll be seeing in the coming weeks!

If you need to get in touch with us, please contact us at [email protected].

As I prepare Christmas dinner, it’s time to wish a Merry Christmas to all of our friends and I hope you’ve all had an enjoyable and (hopefully) peaceful holiday season. As evening approaches, spend this time with the people who love you and people who you love.

Now that we’re in the dying hours of Christmas Eve, it’s time to uphold a centuries-old tradition: A Ghost Story for Christmas.

No matter how many times you’ve heard the song It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, you’ve probably never paid much attention to the lyric “there’ll be scary ghost stories” that occurs towards the end of the song. Victorian England popularized the telling of scary stories as families would gather together around their fireplaces during the time of the year when night was longest.

Even before Charles Dickens wove A Christmas Carol into the fabric of the season, daily life was beginning to change with industrialization and the uncertainty of the future began to make things feel a bit darker. A bit scarier. And what better way to release those fears than by telling ghost stories while shrouded in the cold darkness of a winter night? With the help of the creation of the steam powered printing press, giving people easy access to written versions of scary stories they were told at a young age, a new tradition was born.

Over time it evolved with the creation of the television, and in the 1970s, BBC started airing adaptations of classic ghost stories late on Christmas Eve to shocked and captivated British viewers. The tradition continues to this day, with new adaptations of stories by M. R. James and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle airing steadily for the past several years. And now it is time for me to open my blu-ray collection of these stories to choose one to watch for 2024.

I thought I’d only need to worry about the cats attacking the Christmas tree. What were the rules for these damn things? Keep them away from bright light, never get them wet, and never feed them after midnight. Okay, this should be fine…

"The winter solstice time is no longer celebrated as it once was, with the understanding that this is a period of descent and rest, of going within our homes, within ourselves, and taking in all that we have been through, all that has passed in this full year which is coming to a close... like nature and the animal kingdom around us, this time of hibernation is so necessary for our tired limbs, our burdened minds.
..the natural tug to go inwards as nearly all creatures are doing is strong and the weather so bitter that people are left feeling that winter is hard because, for those of us without burning fires and big festive families, it can be lonely and isolating. Whereas winter is kind, it points us in its quiet, soft way towards our inner self, this annual time of peace and reflection, embracing the darkness and forgiving, accepting, and loving embracing goodbye the past year.

Winter takes away the distractions, the buzz, and presents us with the perfect time to rest and withdraw into a womb-like love, bringing fire & light to our hearth.
. and then, just around the corner the new year will begin again, and like a seed planted deep in the earth, we will all rise with renewed energy once again to dance in the sunlight.”

The first time Santa went up we were immediately hit with 3 back to back to back storms. Now that he’s unburied and finally up again, it started snowing within 30 minutes. Sorry!

It always takes just a little bit longer to close out the final show of the year, but we’ve officially wrapped our 2024 season!

I want to thank all of the customers who have continued to visit throughout the years, and express equal thanks to the vendors who book with us and have trusted us to put on the best shows we can! And thanks to everyone who has assisted us and hosted our shows over the years!

2024 was our transition year, and 2025 will mark our year to expand to new communities while staying at our longtime favorites, but more will be announced in the new year once everything is finalized.

Now that our 2024 season is over, we will be on break for the next couple months, but that means it’s time to start advertising for our two Valentine’s Day themed shows in February 2025!

If you need to get ahold of us in the meantime, please email [email protected], but if not then I’ll talk to you all in the new year!

I’m finally back home and about to sit down for my first meal today, but I wanted to get a quick THANK YOU out to everyone first!

Thank you to all the vendors who took a chance on this first time location with us!

Thank you to all the customers who came out today!

Thank you to the Knights for hosting us!

Thank you to Kim and Lacie for helping with the basket raffle!

And thank you to Maria for continuing to assist from behind the scenes!

We had a great turnout today, especially for a first time at a location. And I’d heard people saying they came in from as far as Grand Island, Lancaster, Clarence and Batavia for today’s show! It was so busy today I didn’t even have a chance to grab my phone and take pics, but I did manage to grab this one during setup at 10:00.

Nearly all the feedback I heard from vendors and customers alike was extremely positive and they were overwhelmingly impressed with the variety of items that were available. So as long as we can get a couple good dates next year, we’ll definitely be booking here again in 2025!

But we still have one more show this year before we go on break for a few months, so I’ll see you at Santa's Helpers on December 7th!
