If you use Shopping Cart Designer, you can add an image that takes up your entire header that contains the information about being closed. Then also in Shopping Cart Creator, disable all payment gateways so that there would be no way to checkout.

Not a problem Sally. Glad I could help someone for a change, instead of everyone else helping me!

Also, if you don't plan to have internet access on your holiday, maybe a note on your Contact page too. I forward my mail to gmail and have internet access while away, but put a note there too just in case I'm having too much fun and don't get time to check my mail each day.

One of the thing I considered was the logo area. For now, I'll stick with posting a store offline notice on the cart page. Will is right, a vacation feature like eBay has for stores would be a nice to have.
Thanks

Thanks again for the suggestions. Checkout disabled and large and bright red notice on View Cart page.

My carts will be opened by the end of the month/year. I'm setting up a booth in the KOA/AVI Casino RV Park in Laughlin, NV for the month of Jan. as part of the Cloud's Jamboree Gem Show. Between my booth and my ecommerce carts, hoping for good business.

Merry Christmas!
