Christmas Comes to Catamaran Cruisers

I have a confession to make. We LOVE Christmas here at Catamaran! In fact, we love it so much, we had our tree up well before Thanksgiving. We're so crazy about this particular holiday that the office staff keeps small bottles of Blue Spruce room fragrance stashed everywhere so we can enjoy the scent, even with an artificial tree. And speaking of our tree, it's covered with ornaments that employees have brought over the years. We enjoy guessing who brought which and reminiscing about the many people who have been part of our story through the years.

This is an important time of year for us for many reasons. In the houseboat industry, it's a sign that spring is really just around the corner. Next to "Merry Christmas," the second most-heard phrase around here is, "spring is now!" It's the perfect time to get your boat on order so you don't end up at the back of the line and miss out on some fine boating weather in a few short months.

Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't point out that a houseboat would be the gift to end all gifts for your parent, spouse, or other deserving loved one. You can get them the Dept. 56 version (seen above), but a real one is way cooler and the dog can't knock it off the table and destroy it. Ok, that about wraps it up, except to say...
