<p>One of my fondest memories goes back into the early 1960s, when the family didn´t own a car. At that time, we lived in the "burbs" in the deep industrial west of Germany and a visit to town meant a half hour streetcar ride, which I was always thrilled with! Before Christmas, all the family rode to town, and while Mum took us kids to the movies, Dad did the Christmas shopping, working down the eloboratly ornated wish lists we had sent to Santa. After the movies we went to pick up Dad at the toy store. We were not allowed to go inside, but the store´s windows were wonderfully decorated and we didn´t mind waiting for Dad at all! It was no wonder the staff had to clean the windows from "nose marks" quite a number of times during the day! My favorite window showed a huge Marklin layout, which I admired until my parents dragged me home!</p> <p>Times have changed, the store is all but a fond memory of times when life was much simpler and people seemed to be happier than nowadays.</p>
