A Christmas Carol


My friend Ed organizes a "Holiday Lights" tour every year during Christmas time. It was held last week on a very cold and blustery night. We normally check out model trains, light shows, trees and various other Christmas decorations at several different venues. One of our stops is to see A Christmas Carol, which is located on the 3rd Floor of Macy's Department Store. It is filled with animated characters acting out the tale and it is always a lot of fun. This year, as we were making our way through the maze, we were surprised to see something odd about the display. You will have to scroll down to see, but I will tell you this...we could not stop laughing when we saw this!

 This is where Scrooge encounters the Ghost of Christmas Present (this is what we are supposed to see...but not what we ended up seeing last week.)  This photo was from last year.

This is what we saw....what the hell??!!  What is going on underneath that robe!  Needless to say, we all had sick minds and found this to be hilarious!  I couldn't stop laughing as Scrooge's head kept bobbing back and forth!

Christmas at the Cratchets!

It does look like a pretty neat display overall. Lots of work went into it!

Its been around here for years...it used to be owned by Strawbridge's which was one of those old family owned stores in the city.

While researching a little about Charles Dickens and his works, I found out that he had a pet raven named Grip which he had stuffed when it died in 1841. Grip is now located at the Free Library of Philadelphia...so now I'm going to have to check that out.
