I was in a bind last month as I ordered a mum on Etsy and the vendor failed to deliver. BUT…read more Before I get into that; folks who are not from the Midwest or South, you may be thinking what the heck is a mum? The word "mum" comes from the kind of flower that traditionally anchors the entire arrangement. "Mum" is short for chrysanthemum.The tradition originated in Missouri in 1911, but Texans made it our own by adding school colors and ribbons to the chrysanthemums. The first mum in Texas was seen at a Baylor University football game in 1936. Mums are a token of affection, and they reflect the wearer's interests, hobbies, clubs, and activities. While the specifics of the tradition do vary by high school, generally speaking, homecoming mums in Texas are worn by students to certain homecoming activities including (but not limited to) a parade, pep rally, football game, and even to class on homecoming day. Sometimes these activities are all on the same day, but more often they are not. In Texas, the homecoming game refers to a football match-up played on Friday night, although for schools without a football program, their sport of choice may be basketball or another athletic activity. Thing two is in the philharmonic, is a cheerleader, on the track team, etc. So I needed a mum that spoke to at least one of those activities. Since I paid for one mum that I didn't get, I looked to a local vendor. I found CTX Spiritwear. This local shop was able to deliver a fantastic mum at lower price than the Etsy vendor and this mum was more extravagant (the more extravagant the mum, the better...because its Texas and the bigger the better). I was able to order and get the mum in less than two days and it was customized as I requested. The mum was a hit at the Homecoming (HOCO) parade and was well made. I highly recommend Christy as the work she produced is flawless and quick. #supportlocal
