A Flamenco Christmas.

Snow makes it look like a picture postcard outside.

Fireplace crackling inside, but hardly the conversation.

Christmas cheer in short supply.

Appears to need a wake-up call.

You have just entered the room in the nick (or St. Nick) of time.

With a fire of your own.

Reminding those that have gathered here tonight of the passion that has been burning in Andalucía for nearly five hundred years.

Not that they would know Andalucía from the Antarctica, but they can feel the vibes.

You've brought the famous gypsy guitar version of Jingle Bell Rock with you.

Why is everyone suddenly dancing?

Flamenco Christmas Blouse (No. 2498). Yarn died silk in a taffeta weave that can stand up to the most rigorous footwork. Shaping body darts. Ruffles do what the right ruffles do. Flatter everything in sight. Frilly V-neck does its trick. Self-Tie wraps in a bow on your left. Looks like you are the present. And a welcome one at that. John has just begged you and the blouse to come to his party. You'll see; your holiday calendar is suddenly filling up.

Women's sizes: 2 through 16. Imported.

Color: Intense Red.
