Christine in Lego Land

Well, not really.  But very close.  When I was little, my Dad use to take me to downtown Pittsburgh to make a donation to Children's Hospital.  KDKA radio broadcasters would set up shop in a different department store window each week (or maybe it was just each Saturday--I was little back then and I don't really remember the exact specifics) and collect money for the Hospital.  You said your name and who you wanted to wish Merry Christmas too.  I always said my family and grandma since I knew she listened to KDKA.  She also lived downtown so afterwards we would visit her.  Then she would ask why didn't we stop at her apartment first (she lived across from Heinz Hall) and get money to give.  We usually gave at the Horne's Department store, which was a block or two from her place.  The best part about giving was not the radio.  It was the amazing cookies they gave you.  I don't remember the name of the cookies; maybe something to do with stars.  But I loved them.

During my walk tonight, I saw Christmas windows at one of the Department stores in Stuttgart.  I bet that Nathaniel, Jake, and Q would love it here:

Yes, that's right.  They did a Star Wars Theme.  How awesome is that?

It was not all R2D2.

So Maddie and Olivia would also enjoy a visit.  I would say that Santa was a bit shorter than me in real live.

The Truck's arm actually moves.

p.s. There is a Lego Land in Germany.  Maybe it will make my to visit list.  I am easily amused.
