When all through the shop, not a tape measure was moving not even a mop.

With
Sipping and Shiping done for the night, the packages, dressed in ribbon had taken flight.


The mail was afixed with stamps in their corners, the crew was finally finished taking all the orders.

Your packages delivered, with bows on your treasures, our feet are now resting on a bed made of feathers.

May your holidays be bright, and your celebrations be dear - we can’t wait to see and serve you next year.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.

Diana and Your Sip and Ship Team
