Message:  The biggest store in town. A block long on Main Street with six windows of Christmastime magic. A moonlit village with steepled churches. Smoke rising from red brick chimney tops in plump donut rings. A Hans Brinker skating pond edged with sleds. Santa's workshop. Reindeers and Lionel locomotives. Elves in buckled boots and tiny leather aprons. Mouths full of shiny nails. Mrs. Claus's Olde Bakery Shoppe. Shortbread pinwheels spinning out of the ovens under clouds of sugar-spun steam. Candy cane smocks and peppermint-striped stockings. Pointy-toed slippers and holly hats with bells. A big calendar hanging crooked to count down the days. Kids with their noses pressed up against the glass sucking their hair into icicles. And just over there under the streetlamp where snowflakes are gently falling... POe, and some old friends...
