Yesterday the wife and I went to "Always Christmas" at Standish-Jones Hardware. For as often as I go to S-J I never ventured upstairs to the Christmas shop until yesterday. I was impressed.
For those who have never been there, the whole second floor of Standish-Jones is a Christmas-themed store all year long (hence "Always Christmas"). It's really quite the sizable layout and they have an impressive amount of anything and everything Xmas...ornaments, lighting, scenes, candles, villages, tree accessories, wrappings and more. It's worth a stop while on your holiday travels.
For those who are out of town and unfamiliar with Standish-Jones and want to know how to get to there, the store is located in the heart of the village. If travelling from Route 31, turn north onto Main St (Gasport's traffic light). Just before you would cross the lift bridge, turn right onto Telegraph Road (at the Canalside Inn), take your next right (Central Ave.). Standish Jones is just across the railroad tracks. There is more than enough parking in the stone lot at the intersection adjaecent to the store.
