Truth. Someday, some way. it all needs to come down but the outside lights always seem to last longer. I took ours down just because I didn't want to get caught up on the ladder in the snow. That would be a no thank you. 

I have Department56! I actually won it in old town Alexandria at the Christmas Shop (I think it was Grandmas's Attic, there are two of them) It is a collectors (aren't they all?) Ronald McDonald -The house that love built. It was a raffle and they called me in February to tell me I won. That was the first time I was living in Washington, DC in 1997.  

Yes, they really are pretty cool little houses, aren't they? 

Thanks for stopping by and saying hello, leaving your words behind!
