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!

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.
