Never Ever Give The Chinese Mantel Clocks As Gifts August 21, 2008

I know my grandma will love this Howard Miller Medford mantel clock very much. I saw one when I was holidaying with my hubby at one of the St. Martin villa rentals a few years back.
But there is no way I will give my grandma this mantel clock as a gift.
It’s a taboo to give clocks to the Chinese, especially elder people. In the Chinese language, clock sounds like ’sending people to die’. So, it’s a no no if you think of giving your buddies’ parents who are Chinese people.
I love this classic English clock very much. I prefer the Ave Maria chimes over the Westminster chimes.
If you know the history of Howard Miller clocks, you will be rest-assured of its superior quality and design that lasts for generations.
