Off-Topic: Displays of Light

Believe it or not, there are other types of holiday displays...many people are very creative and spare no expense in creating their elaborate light displays. One store I've found is Christmas Done Bright, out of Tennesse. Founded as a family business in 1992, they offer many different lines of light displays and types of products, including outdoor christmas Lights, animated christmas light displays, lighted christmas decorations, christmas lawn ornaments, holiday yard art with lights, lighted halloween yard decorations and more. They hand make each lawn ornament using steel frames with enamel paint.

If you are looking for more environmentally friendly light displays, how about some solar powered displays? I did a search and found the following options:

Solar Illuminations
Taylor Gifts
Amazon.com
Silicon Solar

It is also nice to visit some professionally designed Christmas Light Displays. I know of one in Springfield, Massachusetts called "Bright Nights" which is very nice. It's very whimsical and at the end of the drive (you drive through Forest Park) you end up in Whoville, or really, the home of Dr. Seuss.

A Couple's Wintery Village Scenes

The couple have snowy scenes from the North Pole and Elfland set up in the living room, while the garage is filled with a huge Christmas in the City display, complete with streets, bridges and a baseball park. But for Lorraine, president of the Tri-County Department 56 Collector’s Club, the displays are nothing out of the ordinary, considering many of the club members have similar displays in their own homes. “Everybody has different ways of displaying it,” Lorraine said of the Department 56 collectibles. “You find different things. When somebody comes up with a unique idea, you try and share it. It’s always nice to see somebody do something different.” ... click here to read the rest of the article

Rest in Peace, Stan

A dark cloud formed over Manhattan yesterday, and just as suddenly, a bright light shine through the clouds as the sky was ripped from the inside out by thousands of legendary heroes, assembling to pay homage to their Creator and his aged typewriter. As each keystroke landed with a thud, the letters screamed out as loudly as they could, "Excelsior!”, one last time. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/stan-lee-photos-marvel-comics_us_5be9e7d9e4b044bbb1a77969

Tomorrow is Labor Day, Next Up is Halloween!

Hooked on Department 56 has a great article on tips for creating your halloween village . The article features tips and informative links on all of the wonderful and scary options for outfitting your decorative halloween villages, including haunted sounds, spooky lights, and flying witches. The story also features information about The 2008 Haunted Rails Engine & Coal Car, and Rickety Railroad Station, two of Department 56's Halloween village pieces created to mark the ten year anniversary of D56 Halloween. While the train itself is ceramic and non-working, you still get the feel of the haunted railroad. The also is not limited to just D56, as it also mentions Disney Villains from Hawthorne Village. An excerpt from the story: "In 1998, Department 56 introduced the first Halloween village collection. Department 56 Halloween Village features spooky castles, flying witches, skeletons, and gravediggers. Many of the buildings are lighted with fiber optic light effects, that fli...
