This is according to search results on Google for the past month:5. Department 56 Christmas in the City
From the corporate website: "Representing some of the nation's diverse and most striking cityscapes, the unusual shops do a brisk business, restaurants and ballparks are crowded with patrons and street vendors cater to a steady stream of customers."
4. Department 56 Bethlehem
The "Little Town of Bethlehem" Series honors the Christmas miracle. The series includes pieces such as "Birth of Christ Nativity Set", "The Church of the Holy Sepulcher", "Nativity" and the "Potter's Shop".
3. Department 56 Alpine Village
I admit I don;t know much about this series, but the corporate site says "The intricately detailed lighted buildings and accessories of this series are as unique and diverse as the towns and hamlets in the Alpine and bavarian regions they represent." I'll have to research more.
2. Animated Department 56
There are many animated pieces across many different series. I especially like the piece with the snowboarders - "Snowboard Hill", a midseason piece for any Village in 2006.
1. Department 56 A Christmas Story
This series was exclusive to Sears and was incredibly popular with the many fans who watch the movie every year as it airs for 24 hours on TNT shortly after Thanksgiving. I remember my wife and I heading to Sears @ 4 am on "Black Friday" to get the entire set when they had their big holiday sale. In 2006 they came out with a second set of pieces. There is about eight buildings and quite a few accessories. As we get closer to the holiday season, I will look at the entire series in detail.
