I remember I’ve wrote about these wonderful miniatures last December 2012. I and my family were having great time strolling in one of the major shopping mall. In a tropical country such as ours we do not have winter and so seeing snow or the likeness of it is really pleasing to the eyes.

It was December and so its winter in four season countries but not here. The mall management has come up with an exhibit at the exhibit hall with its theme “White Christmas.” Multitude of people gathered around to witness how the artists set them up and was amazed by its beauty when it was done. I myself was there and somehow it seems that I was in a trance. I felt like as if it was true, I felt the magic of white Christmas.
Where in the world could these event organizers have purchased these wonderful collections of miniature stuffs? It’s just recently that I’ve learned that what I have seen were department56 collectibles. What they did was a great way of doing ads. I love them and I thought of starting a collection for future plans.
