Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
Sherri Gomez spends most of her time watching cartoons and movies about superheroes with her 3-year-old son Anthony. But for a month during the holiday season, she works at Roden-Smith as a gift wrapper.
Family business: My mom, grandmother and brother work here so they know to call me each year when they need season help.
Christmas excitement: My family loves Christmas. I was born and raised in Clovis so I have a lot of family here. I go to several big family gatherings during the holidays and there is always food. We’re super excited about this year. My son is 3 this year so he’s been being good for Santa and is so excited for Christmas.
Kids and Christmas: My favorite thing about Christmas is seeing all the kids excited about opening gifts and getting together with family.
Experienced wrapper: I’m pretty good at wrapping presents. I got good from working here. I’ve wrapped here during Christmas for three or four years. I like square packages because they’re easiest.
Christmas movie mismatch: I don’t really have a favorite Christmas movie. But I don’t like “A Christmas Story.” My husband watches it constantly throughout the holiday. It just gets on my nerves. It’s his favorite, but I guess I’ve seen it too much.
Winter escape: If I could do anywhere, I’d take my whole family to Hawaii and stay for a couple of weeks. I like warm weather. We’d try to surf. We’re not afraid to try new things.
Winter fun: I hope it snows. Even if it doesn’t, we go skiing a couple of times each year. This January is the first time I’m taking my son skiing. It’s my husband’s favorite sport so he’s gotta be able to ski.
