These fun, funky, shiny and somewhat silly
Christmas bracelets from 180 Degrees have been flying out of our stores. They are replete with glass beads and metal charms suggestive of the season: bells, santa suits and hats, ornaments, stars, candy canes, snowpeople, hearts, gift packages, and so forth. As I prefer things more understated, my reaction to these was initially not one of ardor. But seeing the glee on the faces of our customers as they try these on and are instantly transported into the holiday spirit, I am now a fan. It's not just that, however: my wife works with sick children (and adults), and she has taken to wearing these as she makes her rounds. The kids (and many of the adults) love them! It brings some color and joy into an environment that is often lacking in both. Wow - sunshine in the darkness from something inexpensive, fun and a little silly. Works for me.
