As out-of-season as this seems, I am getting a lot of things made for Christmas. But really, it takes a lot of  time to get everything made, dried, fired, glazed, fired again, listed in the gallery's inventory, labels made (by someone else at the gallery) and put on the pieces (by me), everything packed up to take to the gallery, take down the last display, move all the pedestals to different spots for the next show, and set up the display.
