KOS’S KORNER Precious Moments Chief Executive Officer, Stephen “Kos” Kosmalski
I can’t believe we are headed into Christmas and the end of 2017. It’s been a great year for Precious Moments, which bodes well for the future. This year, we were able to provide you with more Precious Moments items you requested, in addition to the heartwarming figurines you know and love. As many of you may have seen, Precious Moments has received some great press coverage this past three months. Recently, we were featured in an article on Today.com, where the value of many of our historical figurines was trumpeted. Somehow, I think many of you have some of these in your homes! Season’s Greetings Loyal Precious Moments Aficionados,
In addition, Gifts and Decorative Accessories Magazine, named us one of the Top 10 “Gifts of the Century.” Which brings me to the top gift-giving event of the year - Christmas. For me, my memories of Christmas are times filled with hugs and kisses from friends and families, waking up to a bevy of presents under the tree and nervously sitting on Santa’s lap trying to convince him that I was a good boy. Tall order. Above the delicious homemade Polish food, gifts, family and friends, the most important memory was of the holiness of that season. Nothing was as precious as the Nativity in our home, which we set up with my mom. Silent Night was a song which truly let us feel the glory and peace of the season. What could beat Christmas service at the church, with children dressed as angels and timeless Christmas carols focused on the essence of Christmas? Fortunately, this holy aspect of Christmas continues in my family much to the efforts of my wife of 44 years, Laura. As usual, I will enter the upcoming new year with hope and anticipation. For the business, we have the distinct honor of Celebrating 40 Years of Precious Moments with you! We have a lot planned to make it special, so keep tuned to our publications, emails and social media. It couldn’t happen at a better time, as this world really needs the gift of love to be spread more than ever. It’s easy to feel helpless in this environment, so the only thing we can do is share the gift of love with whomever we encounter with our words, hugs, gifts, and prayers.
Have a Blessed Holyday,
Kos
