brynnfromtheblock Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 I had a cheap Joann's village which I was very happy with, but my aunt started getting me a Dept 56 house every year. All of a sudden the old houses just didn't go with it, and now I'm addicted!!! Did anyone see the new Dept 56 set? It's the movie "A Christmas Story"!!! I love that movie, you know I'll have to get Triple Dog Dare and the Leg Lamp.... they are 25% off on BF, but it looks like they're 25% off now at Sears.... they're sold out on line but I am going to go tomorrow and see if they have any in stock. For all you collectors we'll have to post a picture of your villages... mine goes up on BF!!
peachysquirt21 Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 I ordered Ralphies house. I had to have it. LOL I really didnt care for the rest of the set. It was shipped out today & I cant wait to get it home & set it up. :)

It was shipped out today & I cant wait to get it home & set it up. :)\\ I didn't care for the globes, or Christmas Candy or the perfect tree, but did like double dog dare and unpacking the leg lamp...I didn't see the house itself... where did you order from, and does it have the leg lamp in the window? I told my husband last night if they have the house I would definitely buy that...
erh12275 Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 I don't but might have to get the Christmas Story ones. Love that movie.
LadyScruples Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 I have boxes of Dept 56 "A Chirstmas Carol" series village set. I haven't put them out in 5 years. We have cats...who I love dearly but they will knock them down and break them if I put them out. I haven't seen the "A Christmas Story" ones yet.....
brynnfromtheblock Posted November 5, 2005 Author Posted November 5, 2005 I went and got them today... they were ringing up 25% today even though there was no sign (the BF price) and if you use your SEARS card you get an extra 10%.... if I didn't love A Christmas story so much I don't know if I'd get them, but since I do I got Ralphies house, triple dog dare, and opening the leg crate... if they go 50% the day after Christmas I'll get Cleveland Elementary...

treasure60 Posted November 14, 2005 Posted November 14, 2005 I have boxes of Dept 56 "A Chirstmas Carol" series village set.QUOTE]Oh cool !!! I have this collection well most of it anyhow. My hubby gets me one piece every year for Christmas. I have 6 pieces so far. He is now getting me other things to go with it. I have it up high so the grandchildren won't get a hold of any of it! I can't wait to post my village,,,that is great idea btw.
