Our Holiday wish for you!

Thanksgiving 2012 - Copy

Over the last few years, BLACK FRIDAY has seemed to creep its way into the Thanksgiving Day Celebration. Many have criticized businesses for opening on Thanksgiving day and we here at The Carpet House agree with the critics.

Our policy at The Carpet House, Inc. has always been to close over the Thanksgiving Holiday from Thursday to Sunday allowing our employees quality time with their friends and family! While we greatly appreciate and look forward to helping you in purchasing flooring….we are confident that our customers understand the importance of why we stay closed.

Which is why, on December 5th, our beautiful town of Morrison, IL comes to life in  a very special way to celebrate Christmas.

Friends, Family and Strangers all come together to enjoy sleigh rides, decorated store fronts, visits with santa clause and our Holiday Hometown Parade! (which is always a favorite!)

For the last sixteen years, The Carpet House has hosted an Open House during Morrison’s Christmas Walk. We open our doors offering a yummy variety of homemade goodies and hot cocoa from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm! Holiday Baskets will be given away, good food and fun will be had for all!

So while we may be closed this Thanksgiving weekend, our HOLIDAY wish is that you will take the time to join us December 5th from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm for our HOLIDAY OPEN HOUSE!
