| Dear Reader,
All of us at Ground Effects would like to wish you a Merry Christmas. We would like to Thank You for making our 10th year in business a success. We really enjoyed serving you throughout the year and enjoyed seeing many of you at our 10th Anniversary Celebration.
As Christmas approaches there are many distractions and busyness that comes with it. I hope that this Christmas you take time to think about Jesus Christ this Christmas season. I know that this time of year causes a lot of time for reflection and looking forward toward the new year. My prayer is that you take time to read the Christmas story and see what a precious gift God gave us.

 Thanks to all of you who came to our Christmas seminar. The proceeds from that seminar allowed us to sponsor 2 families through Mid-Sioux Opportunity.
Thanks again for helping us share with others.
| | A Christmas Break at Ground Effects
 So that everyone at Ground Effects can have time to relax, unwind, and spend time with family. We will be closing Christmas Eve at 2pm and won't be opening again until Monday, December 29. Hope you all have a great time this Christmas season. | |

| | | | Dear Michael,
Christmas in only 21 days away, can you believe it? I haven't even started looking for gifts yet. My theory is that I do better getting gifts when there is a little pressure to get done, kind of like writing papers the night before they were due in college. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday now over it is time to start to think of gift ideas for yourself and for others. I will enlighten you on some of the great gifts we can help you with.

| | | Top 5 Gift Ideas from Ground Effects
 We have made a list of the top 5 gift ideas from Ground Effects on the front page of our website. Go ahead and check out the many ideas for gifts that we offer. I'm sure you're trying to think of creative gifts for others and even for yourself. Check out the list for some ideas.
One of the ideas on the list is Fresh Flowers for a year. You can give the gift of Fresh Flowers every month of the year. This has been very popular gift that keeps giving throughout the year.
| | Let The Fresh Christmas Arrangements Begin
Edie, Evie, and Bert just started making beautiful arrangements for the Christmas Season. You can see a sample of the beautiful arrangements they are making in the Christmas Photo Gallery. They are using many different types of fresh evergreen in them that smell awesome!!!!! The pictures on this newsletter and in the photo gallery don't do them justice. Stop in and see them for yourselves or just send one to yourself because you deserve it after getting all your Christmas decorations up.
| | Get Your Fresh Evergreen Pots Done Before Winter
This is one of the last weeks to get your fresh evergreen containers made. Be sure to call or stop in to get them done before the long cold winter. Check out all the creative container creations Katie has designed on our Container Gardening Page. We still have fresh garland, beautiful wreaths, and many different evergreen foliages to beautify your outside before winter.

| Check out our commercial on the website and let me know what you think.
| With Poinsettia season fast approaching you might want to find out some fun facts and care instructions for your poinsettia's on this website.
| Don't forget to protect your trees this winter from the weather and animal damage. Make sure to get tree guards for the trunks of your trees now before it gets cold. A little prevention goes a long ways. We do have them on hand. Put them on now but make sure to take them off right away in the spring.
| Rose cones are probably the most common and most misused method of winter protection. This method often fails because the graft is not adequately protected. All of the shrub roses we sell at Ground Effects should not need rose cones. Just give them a small haircut this fall and put some mulch around the base of the rose to protect the crown. Then in the spring you can prune any winter kill and you are ready to go.
| Fall cleanup will help minimize problems with pests. Rake and destroy fallen leaves. Remove any disease infected leaves. One avid rose grower removes all the foliage from his 200-plus rose collection prior to winterizing them. I guess raking is not that big of a deal after all!!
| | | Don't want to slip and fall this winter.
Come check out the "Salt Sticks" at Ground Effects.They work just like a salt shaker and make it easy to spread salt by your front door. They are only $9.99 while they last.
