Holiday 2007
They may not be welcome at Sea-Tac Airport this year, but for many Seattle families, the Christmas tree is the highlight of the holiday season. The tree itself is important, of course, but as Charlie Brown and his gang so poignantly demonstrated, it's really the ornaments that hang from it -- and the love with which they're placed on it -- that count.

Every year when April rolled around, my mother used to turn our house into a veritable Easter basket. There were painted eggs, stuffed bunnies, and table centerpieces decorated with daffodils and chickadees. While I tend to avoid any kind of cutesy décor in my own home, I do like to embrace the season with a little whimsy. But finding tasteful items can be tough, especially for spring.

This Ballard store, which carries an eclectic mix of home, gift and novelty items, has stocked its shelves with festive hats ($25 each) by Glitterville. Choose from several holiday-themed varieties, which sport glittery stripes and white fringe, or opt for one that features the New York City skyline -- the Empire State Building and all.

Your tastes may range from simple to elegant to elaborate, but you're sure to find a menorah to illuminate your Hanukkah which starts at sundown Dec. 15. Two shops in Seattle (each with multiple locations) have a wide range to choose from.

Q: We are looking to buy a really nice 7-foot artificial tree this year. I have searched and searched but am not finding shops here in Seattle. We prefer to see it and thus do not want to order online unless we have to. Do you know of any great stores?
