We display a Dept 56 village on our mantle each Christmas and the girls love arranging [and re-arranging] the little people and such around the buildings. Balancing on top of a tall stool and organizing the stuff in front of the Brew House ---- yes, that's just what holds a 2 year old's attention. To heck with the general store, toy store, antique store, church, or any of the Dickens houses!
