With the Christmas season among us, there are lots of opportunities to remember childhood fantasies of Santa with his sleigh pulled by magnificent reindeer. Or to drift into a sweet memory of grandparents glistening with cookies and presents. We love the magic of Christmas! The joy of the season is hard to miss when you look around.

What’s your favorite Christmas tradition? We love decorating our stores with tinsel, glass balls, lights, and sparkling trees! Previous years (before COVID) we have had a notorious white elephant gift exchange! Hilarious gifts that have people laughing and joking for years and gifts that everyone want to take home with them.  Central Rent 2 Own’s Owner’s family bring out all the stops to make a fancy homemade Christmas dinner for us to enjoy together.

But looking back on all traditions, we celebrate the festive season because of the babe that came in the manger. The Son of God who came to set the world free from its bondage to sin.  The Wiseman came from afar to bring beautiful gifts to the Christ child and worship him. In memory of their gifts to Jesus, we love to give gifts to each other.  Remembering the real meaning of Christmas, our favorite Christmas tradition is making the wish of a customer at each store come true! Throughout the holiday season customers submit Christmas wishes for loved ones and we get the joy of making four of those wishes come true each Christmas!  This Christmas is no exception.  On Friday December 18^th, we will be announcing the winners of their Christmas wishes! We’re excited to bless these families in a couple weeks. Submit a Christmas wish for someone you love before Friday the 18^th for your chance to make their Christmas wish come true!
