Christmas Villages Online

A seasonal yummy to warm your heart!

Ingredients:

2 cups flour
1 stick butter
1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
Lemon juice
4 large eggs
Nuts
1 bottle Brandy
2 cups of dried fruit

Sample the brandy to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the brandy again. To be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add one teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it’s best to make sure the brandy is still OK. Try another cup… Just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy.. Break 2 eggs and add to the bowl and chuck in the cup of dried fruit.

Pick the frigging fruit up off floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit gets stuck in the beaterers just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the brandy to check for tonsisticity. Next, sift two cups of salt. Or something. Check the brandy. Now shift the lemon juice and strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or some fink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 degrees and try not to fall over.. Don’t forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window. Finish the brandy and wipe counter with the cat.

Bingle Jells!

It’s that time of year again, when we get the list of village buildings and accessories that Department 56 is retiring this year. The molds are broken and no more pieces of that design will be made. This keeps the product line fresh and new ideas flowing as designers create new editions of this great village brand.

Most of the collectibles companies make way too many of their pieces, so prices are generally pretty reasonable on the secondary market. It’s heartbreaking if you’re a collector who buys pieces in gift stores, but it’s great if you want to get the cheapest prices for your favorites. If shipping prices are reasonable, you can find some . It’s also a good indicator of fair prices too, in case you want to have some leverage when negotiating with a local seller!

So here we go!
