Hip on Holiday

摘要

There may finally be an answer to the mystery of why some people never bother taking down the Christmas lights from their front yard. And it's not laziness. Or craziness. Chances are at least some of these folks work within the home textiles industry, which means for them the holidays are practically a year-round celebration. "You've heard of Groundhog Day? Well, we call it Christmas," joked Chris Mooney, vp of merchandising and product development, Avanti Linens. "Every year, as soon as I start taking down my Christmas tree at home, we are back at work designing the next year's holiday collection. By September market, we begin previewing our holiday line for the following year."
