Happy Holidays to Everyone, I'd like to start by thanking Robert Blatter for being Pipe Maker of the month. Robert was kind enough to donate a wonderful pipe for a give-away promotion. We will start the promotion in March; be watching for it.   Pipe Makers Emporium will be closed from December 23rd until January 3rd. This week, all orders must be received by noon on Wednesday the 22nd in order to ship before we close. Remember you still have a few days left to qualify for our Christmas Pipe give-away. Check it out at www.pipemakers.org  Wishing everyone all the joys of this Holiday Season.       Carolyn
