Not sure what to say?

Mr. William Hixson is truly Mr. Christmas I love going to his shop, so many beautiful ornaments other Christmas related items. Mr Christmas, Hixson you are missed

Mr. Hixon, Eunice, and his shop have been a part of my family Christmas tradition for over 40 years Grateful for all the memories, and conversations had.

I remember my mom taking me to Hixson´s as a child. It was magical and wonderful and sparked my own creativity. What a wonderful man. God Bless you Bill.

Oct. 1, 2023 I attend Hixson's School of Floral Design, September 1974. This time of year brings wanting to go back to Lakewood and thinking of the fabulous Christmas Design Show he would put on every year. Sadden to say I am just finding out that he passed away. My heart is heavy and I only wish everyone could know what a great man he was. The best floral designer in history has gone. He influenced my life and I will forever be indebted to him. Rest in peace dear soul!!! Deborah Stahl...

I met Mr Hixson at the casino. I spoke with him often about his decorating at the White House and visited his store. He was an amazing man with many interesting stories. He was always so nice and always such a pleasure to see and talk to. He will be greatly missed by many. My deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

I was a student of Mr. Hixon's. Hardest work I've ever done! I went on to own my own Wedding Floral Design business for 7 years! My family has purchased vintage ornaments from Mr. Christmas and I will never forget him, for all he gave us.

Wonderful man, great guy to talk to, he showed me the piano ornaments, and they were beautiful, he even told me stories about a piano he grew up with. I even talk to him about music and stuff. He even showed me a book, that was German like, it was very beautiful. He was a really awesome man. RIP Bill E, Hixson! You will be missed!
