<p>The snowpocalypse blizzard of 2010 forced us to close Saturday and Sunday. And if you live in the greater DC area, you are likely trapped in its icy grip too. But that doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t have a little fun shopping!<br />
 <br />
If cabin fever is starting to set in, shop our virtual store and receive a special <strong>20% discount</strong> off your entire online order (excluding antiques and already marked down upholstered furniture). Just enter the <strong>coupon code SNOW</strong> when you check out.<br />
 <br />
So go to the window, stick your tongue out at mean Jack Frost and snuggle up next to your favorite PC or Mac for some indoor winter fun.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday the Red Barn Blog was hacked and a &#8216;JS small&#8217; trojan virus was placed on our blog pages. The problem was identified and resolved quickly. However, <strong>if you visited the Red Barn Blog between February 2-3 and saw an unfamiliar page load, your computer might be infected</strong>. This downloader program could potentially download other malicious programs to your computer. You should update and run your anti-virus software as soon as possible.</p>
<p>The attack only affected our blog pages and did NOT penetrate our shopping cart security.</p>
<p>We regret the inconvenience and have taken measures to prevent it from happening again.</p>

<p>It&#8217;s time for that other holiday tradition: After-Christmas sales.</p>
<p>At Red Barn Mercantile, we&#8217;re marking<strong> every holiday item half off</strong> while supplies last. If you&#8217;ve had your eye on a dazzling ornament, a soft hand-stitched star, Christmas towel or children&#8217;s book, then hurry in before they disappear like Santa up the chimney. </p>
<p>You can view a sampling of our Christmas items in the <a href="/store/seasonal.htm">Seasonal</a> section of our site, but you&#8217;ll need to visit the store to see our full selection of decorations, ornaments and other festive items. We&#8217;ll be open during normal business hours this weekend and next week, but closed New Year&#8217;s Day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #993300;">UPDATED 12/24:</span> We are closing at 3 p.m. today so hurry in to get those last-minute gifts (we also have gift cards available in any amount). Merry Christmas everyone!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-276   aligncenter" title="ornaments" src="http://redbarnmercantile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ornaments.jpg" alt="Wooden trees, American flag ornaments and pine cone decorations" width="600" height="481" /></p>
<p>It looks like all our dreams of a White Christmas have come true, but what about the nightmare of last-minute shopping? Because snow kept us closed and most of you indoors Saturday, <strong>Red Barn Mercantile will be staying open until 8 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday</strong> to accomodate everyone who had planned to wrap up their shopping this weekend.</p>
<p>We know it may be hard for some area residents and commuters to make it to our store by 6 p.m., so we&#8217;re keeping our doors open longer to create more shopping hours for you. And, as an added bonus, all of our <a title="See a sample of our holiday line" href="/store/seasonal.htm" target="_self">Christmas items</a> will be<strong> marked down 25 percent through Christmas Eve</strong> &#8212; all ornaments, wreaths, decorations and more.</p>
<p>And, of course, you can buy online or order by phone (703-838-0355).</p>
<p>So, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.</p>
