4th of July fun: get patriotic with Build-A-Bear

If you haven't walked into a Build-A-Bear Workshop yet, you're missing out. The look on the faces of your kids as they participate in the creation of their own stuffed teddy bear is priceless.

In truth, it's about $70 for a fully costumed teddy bear. You can literally dress them up in any kind of outfit you can imagine, from your favorite sports team to licensed characters, to other furry friends, such as lambs, lions, tigers, doggies, etc.

The latest one I saw was a special Fourth of July bear. Perfect for a parade!

Of course, they have your standard Christmas bears and Valentine's Day bears as well.

You can even personalize your bear with a recorded greeting. My wife gave me one on our wedding day. It was a New York Yankees bear we christened Bernie, for Bernie Williams. Every time I press his paw, I hear my wife's sweet voice...

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
