No bows around here! No headbands in pinks and polka dots or glittery bling. However, there is one must-have accessory – Hats.

Hats!
Happier in Hats than in Scarves!

My Boys Love Hats
My oldest son for Christmas would love a Stetson Firenze Hat. My littlest guy and I had been tooling around the new town while his other brother was at archery practice. We went in this dapper store and found a delightful variety of mens hats! He was so excited. He wanted to get his biggest brother one, and one for him, too. I checked out the price – $49.95. HHHmmmmm, I could swing that. A few weeks later, my lovely DIL visited for Thanksgiving. We measured my sons head, packed up the two little guys and went to do a little Christmas shopping.
The trouble these two men went to to pack this hat – amazing,I thought. What service! “$132.00,” the sales clerk said. My DIL and I stared blankly at him, and then at each other – assessingly. I countered, “$49.95.” He pulled a price out from within the hate. I swallowed – a lot of pride. “We’ll have to think about that,” I said. My little guys were crushed. We all felt this way:
And I bet my oldest son is having a flashback:
Isn’t it fortunate that Hats are NOT the reason for the season?
