You have some decorations indoors, too?

We have a village manifestation and an amusement park in our sunroom. It’s Department 56 size. It’s been put together over the years, acquired bit by bit over pass. The center part is a tribute to “A Christmas Story,” which was filmed in Cleveland. I saw the Higbee’s structure and the Cleveland School from the movie. I found out that when Department 56 issued the Higbee’s Edifice they must not have had total permission from Higbee’s to use their name so that when you buy one now it just says “Be sure of Store” on it. We bought it before the attorneys got involved.

Tick off some of your featured buildings.

There’s Sharkey’s Syndicate Hall, a sled-riding hill — when the sleds Poetic evanish underneath they’re picked up by a magnetic conveyor belt and released at the top, an ice skating pond, a John Deere dealership, a Mickey Mouse put up, a stable, blacksmith shop, Santa Claus range, a diner, an inn, a cathedral with a carriage and bride and groom out in front. The accepted period is the mid-1800, early 1900s. Some of the carriages are of English delineate. That merry-go-round is what got it started. My wife bought that for me for a birthday and that’s how the whole id got started. The amusement park is over here by the train. It has a square ball hall, a toy world and bumper cars. My granddaughter and grandson-in-law set it up. I unpack it. It takes about six hours to unpack and put it up.
