My sister-in-law Beth was trying to think of something my 8-year-old (who have traveled the world) hasn't seen, and she certainly scored. Just up the road from their home, in the next town of Torrington is a Christmas House you really have to see to believe.
The Christmas House
The house is open free of charge to the public. They take donations, but do not charge a fee. The paint on the house is peeling and the owner is missing several teeth, yet there is no telling what the collection is worth. It is indescribable. From case after case of Coca Cola Santa merchandise to a railroad Christmas village that fills a space as big as my dining room to a gi-normous collection of moving dolls holding candles. If you're in CT next year around Christmas, fit this in to your schedule!
Also, for those of you heading to the movies over the Christmas break and wondering if you can make it through the whole film without a bathroom break, check out www.runpee.com. You can look up the movie you're going to see and it will tell you the best time to go without missing much. Who has WAY too much time on their hands? Or have they stumbled upon a brilliant service that will attract enough advertisers to allow them to spend the rest of their lives at the movies?
