Christmas Central – The Blog

Hi, and welcome to Christmas Central News, with your host, Winter Clearlight, Elf Anchor. Today, we are excited about the future of Christmas Central, and want to share with you a major announcement. If you’ve been to our site already today, you may have noticed some changes. That is because, after months of hard work, we are proud to announce the launching of a brand new Christmas Central website!

Our original site was useful for finding any item, but needed some streamlining. For one, the extensive catalog we offer, while enabling customers to find almost anything they need on our site, can be difficult to maneuver. We have revamped our system of category searching in two ways. First, drop down menus make for a more easily navigated set of categories. Instead of only being able to select the largest categories on the front page and having to navigate multiple sub pages, you can select from a larger list right on the first page.

Also, we have added many new options to our search pages. A bar on the left allows you to select, in any given category, from such options as color, size, manufacturer, model, subject or image, and others, depending on the specific items being searched. With this, you can narrow your search with great alacrity, allowing for faster, more precise inquiries.

We hope that you are as excited about the new site as we are. It’s just another part of our work to help Santa find you the proper gift and decoration each year. After all, it’s a big sack of toys and gifts, and if he knows what he’s looking for in there, it’ll certainly speed things up. So come and check us out! this is Winter Clearlight, signing off from the new, improved Christmas Central experience.

Hello, and welcome once again to Christmas Central Elf News. I’m your host, Winter Clearlight. Once again you are joining us in the middle of ChristmasWatch 2012. There are just 34 days left, but that’s only part of the story for today. As we noted yesterday, tomorrow is Thanksgiving. And with Thanksgiving upon us, that means that it is time to look forward to what comes next. Of course, I refer to Black Friday, the perceived true start of the Christmas shopping season.

Black Friday as a concept has a long and storied past. A term coined in Philadelphia, PA, it was used by Police and taxi drivers in reference to the difficulty in managing the rush of traffic. In the 60s there was an attempt in the same region to change the perceived negative term to “Big” Friday, but it didn’t take. Eventually, the slow spread of the name was connected to another idea, that of accountants recording positive fund balances in black ink, and the name was cemented.

Everyone knows how rough and tumble, how busy and hectic, how intimidating going out to shop on Black Friday can be. So why not take a day away from the crowds, and shop here with us? You can order anything available to us online, and we have great deals. On our trees alone, you can save as much as 80%, and up to 75% on shatterproof ornaments. Our lights, as well, are up to 50% off. There is so much to save, so much to shop, how could you resist giving the site a chance?

This is Winter Clearlight. I wish you all a happy Holiday season, and we’ll see you again after the holiday. Thank you, and that’s the way Christmas is.
