4. I'm sure many people won't want THOSE people walking around

their tiny Christmas villages. These are the same people with dellusions of Godhood, imho.

KKKristians...

5. We can all thank Great Father Bush for making this happen.

Now that he put black people in his cabinet, Dept. 56 has finally realized that they exist!

Wow. I used to make fun of Dept. 56 all the time because of this.

8. To the best of my knowledge,

that's the only non-caucasion figure set they carry. It's part of their "Christmas in the City" collection.

Of course, you'd never find people of color in any of their other china neighborhoods.....

7. ROFL - Let me guess

They're from the Christmas in the City series, right?

We used to sell that crap at my store. God, I hated it. :grr: So many boxes, so much crap to keep track of.

9. Bing!

You win the prize!
