Online Store Discovery: Funtocollect.com

This online shop came up near the top in a Google Shopping page search for "Department 56 sales". I had never heard of them, so I had to check them out.

Their site has a nice, fun, and whimsical layout.

I really liked the way they explained their differentiators:

* All of the products you see listed on our website that are orderable are typically in stock and ready to ship. If for some reason the item you ordered is out of stock, we will notify you immediately. Orders usually ship within one business day (unless an item is on presale, which is clearly marked).
* Some competitors take days to ship (to our amazement, one even takes weeks) the products you ordered. We, on the other hand, ship your order the same day or the next business day. After your order is shipped, you will have a tracking number e-mailed to you.
* We do not drop ship items like some competitors do. When you order product, it is shipped out from our warehouse here in Colorado. We stock all of the items that we list for sale on our website.
* Our toll free number is 888-732-9949, and you may call if you have any questions. At some of our competitors, you will be lucky if you can find a phone number. Our staff is on hand to answer questions Monday - Friday 8am - 5pm Mountain Time. If you call during regular business hours and get our voicemail, leave a message and you will have your call returned within minutes.
* We do not use answering services or outside parties to answer our phones. When you call to ask about your order, or have questions regarding our products, a representative from our company will be answering your questions.
* All of our products are new. We do not sell used, returned, or damaged merchandise. All of our products are shipped in their original packaging.
* We keep all of your personal information private. We do not sell, rent, or give any of your information to any third party. All of your information is kept confidential.

A Couple's Wintery Village Scenes

Showing that just because Christmas is over, doesn't mean it's time to take down your snowy scenes...I found this article in the Villages Daily Sun : "Walking in a winter wonderland takes on new meaning when anyone enters the home of Don and Lorraine Crowley. 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

Christmas delivered by the History Channel

The History Channel 's comprehensive website has dedicated an entire section to " Christmas ". It's a good read, and a great reference for those of us who like to delve into the particulars about Christmas events, trivia, specifics and traditions. Pages within this section include videos on " Santa Claus ", " Christmas Trees ", and the " History of Christmas ". Other content includes a page focusing on " Christmas Around the World ", " The Christmas Truce of 1914 ", as well as quite a bit else.
