🎄 ’Twas the Week of Holiday Open House 🎄

’Twas the week of Open House, and all through downtown,
Every shop light was twinkling - not one single frown.
The icicles were all hung on the lampposts with care,
In hopes that big holiday crowds would soon be there.

The merchants were nestled not snug in their beds -
They were fluffing displays and restocking instead.
With coffee in hand and glitter in hair,
They prepped for the shoppers soon buzzing everywhere.

When out on Peterson Avenue there arose such a clatter,
The small business owners peeked out to see what was the matter.
Away to the windows they flew like a flash -
Hoping it wasn’t one more task piling up in a flash.

But what to their wondering eyes did appear?
A whole crowd of locals bringing holiday cheer!
With wallets at ready and tote bags in tow,
They shouted, “We’re shopping local - let’s go!”

More rapid than reindeer the shoppers all came,
And the merchants felt joy (and a little back pain).
“Buy candles! Buy jams! Grab ornaments too!
Try on the sweaters! The earrings! The shoes!”

From storefront-lined corners to the courthouse’s brick,
Douglas showed holiday spirit impressively quick.
Folks wandered like family - because let’s be real,
In rural small-town Georgia, that’s part of the deal.

And not just Coffee County - folks from all the counties rolled in,
Bringing cousins, neighbors, and the occasional long-lost kin.
Because around here the county line is more of a vibe -
Everyone knows everyone - that’s the hometown tribe.

They visited cafés, boutiques, and gift spots -
Supporting small businesses means LOTS and LOTS.
For each little purchase - be it big, be it small -
Keeps downtown alive for the long-haul, y’all.

It fuels the hard workers who’ve hustled all year,
Who plan, sweep, decorate, and spread festive cheer.
They’re your neighbors, your classmates, your cousin’s best friend -
The folks who’ll help you out again and again.

So when you fill stockings and wrap gifts with bows,
Remember the shops where your money truly goes.
Not to faraway warehouses in galaxies unknown -
But right here in Douglas and Coffee County, where community’s grown.

And as the Open House wrapped with a satisfied grin,
The merchants whispered softly, “We did it again.”
With tired feet, warm hearts, and spirits so bright -
Happy Holidays, Douglas & surrounding counties - and to all a good night!

Make your calendars! Grab your friends and family! We will meet you in Downtown Douglas this Sunday at 12PM!
