The Clothes Closet has been a staple of the Tama-Toledo community for decades, and this year, it grew a little. If you haven’t heard or if you’ve been living under a rock for the last couple of months, you don’t know about The Clothes Closet Christmas Store. Yes, you heard that right. A store filled with all of your Christmas desires.
From the mind of the Clothes Closet’s owner, Julie Rathjen, the Christmas Closet was the product of an empty building and a whole lot of Christmas inventory. The yuletide season is always a good time of year for the Closet, with all of the Christmas items and spirit. The Christmas Closet is only temporary so you have to act quickly if you want any of those wonderful seasonal items. Before Santa slides down your chimney, make sure to check it out at 215 W. 3rd St. in Tama.
