Troy Troy, I guess the Isles aren't ready for the "in-your-face-blatant-commericalism-of-christimas." I too agree, there is no market in England for such a thing.[:p] In any case, I think a simple decoration of layout building and some minor redressing of your existing equipment is a honorable enough tribute. The redress can come from all those little wreaths and christmas trinkets that appear as early as October, but hearld the start of what my religious preference calls "Advent." So many people have little christmas "villages," mostly Victorian in style, that there is plenty of little stuff out there. Same for election seasons and Easter!
