FOR A JEWELER, Kyle Bullock is a heck of a writer. (Or is it that, for a writer, Kyle Bullock is a heck of a jeweler?)

Whatever the case, we’re sure you’ll enjoy Kyle’s latest literary effort — a jewelry store-themed take on the classic holiday poem, “The Night Before Christmas”.

In this version of the story, a jewelry store gets ready for a big sales day on the most important day of the year. And, as this minute-plus excerpt indicates, things have gotten off to a really bad start.

Listen to the excerpt above, or the full podcast below.

OVER THE COUNTER SPECIAL EPISODE: TWAS CHRISTMAS IN A JEWELRY STORE (6:41 MINUTES)

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
