Hey—anybody out there?  I thought so.  You’re all out shopping, searching for sales on the Friday after Thanksgiving that signals the start of the retail holiday season.  I don’t blame you.  (Guess where I’m going as soon as I finish posting this message?)

But you’ll be back, because there’s leftover turkey in the fridge, and cranberry sauce, and maybe a slice of pumpkin pie that you’ll nibble on since you’re going to get back on that diet Monday anyway.  Flower-friends, I know.  I’m right there with you.

So when you battle your way home after all that shopping mall madness, peel the shoes off, and start surfing the Net again, I’ll be here to help you with your Christmas gift-ing.  You won’t even have to get out of your chair, I promise.

Just check out this link:   http://www.flowershow.org/plan.html.   Then forget the slipper socks for your great-aunt, the cologne for hubby, and finding yet another vampire book for your sister.  Give them something fun and different, with a package to the 2009 Southeastern Flower Show.  It’s perfect for an out-of-town friend or the mother-in-law who has everything.

Because the package comes with accommodations at the Courtyard Marriott Atlanta Cumberland Center or the Renaissance Waverly Hotel, it’s ideal for an all-girlfriends’ weekend or a couple’s getaway.  Or treat yourself.  Don’t you deserve it, after slaving over that hot stove on Thanksgiving Day?  

The Marriott and Renaissance Waverly are ooo-la-la hotels, and this exclusive package includes an overnight stay, breakfast for two the following morning, free hotel parking, and two tickets to the flower show.

There, you see?  Your shopping problems are solved.

As for being tempted by the leftover pumpkin pie….go ahead.  You can walk it off next year, when you explore the acres of beautiful gardens at the flower show!
