Finally writing my own Christmas and Chanukah Cods

I've put it off as long as possible, but am now earnestly writing cods to everyone on my list!

"Tis the Season for Cods

December 6, 2008 

Several things to note as Christmas and Chanukah approach...people have been asking to purchase the Christmas Cod ornament (right)...and yes, it would be a beautiful one and perhaps it will be next year, but it does not exist this year. It is a card or print only. I hate disappointing people but folks, it does say "card" on my site. 

Speaking of cards, they are flying out of here and many of the stores carrying them. I do have a supply of all five designs, and like most people this year, I will not be doing my usual mass mailing. It would be in poor taste...but sending out a few tasteful "cods" is perfectly acceptable. Everyone who sees or receives a "cod" loves it. Whoever would have guessed that the singularly unattractive codfish could morph into such an appealing and praiseworthy creature?

I really love the lobster peace card, (above) even though it isn't a cod, and think its message is very timely this year.  

It interests me that in designing these "cods" I considered only Cape Cod as my audience, but so many of my sales are to people in Canada, Europe, and other parts of the United States...weird, isn't it? Who knew they would have such universal appeal.
