Meet Henry and Faith

Although I'd love to be able to claim Christmas Rants as my own, I do have to give credit where credit is due. Henry and Faith are an integral part of the Christmas Rants team.

Henry is one heck of a friend. If you need to know where to get those hard-to-find gifts, he's your go-to-guy. He can tell you who wants what and where to shop for whatever you need.

Faith's great too. She's a bit against the commercialism of Christmas (so don't be surprised if you find her and Henry having a bit of a tiff every so often), but she sure does know how to make the season bright. She's really into crafts and doing things for others, and I'm sure she'll be sharing some of her ideas and thoughts with you as well.

Whether you're looking for great holiday decorating themes or a gift for that hard-to-shop-for brother-in-law, you've come to the right place. Click here to find out more about this blog and the other people you'll be meeting here.
