It would be nice if they put it on sale, but it seems to sell fine at full price so I doubt it.

My first reaction to the sleigh was "no way! it is too big and too expensive!"

Then last year right before Christmas, I started thinking about the collection of Christmas houses that I had years ago (sold off to pay medical bills.) Each house was around $50 and I had 4 of them. When finances got better, my husband told me I should buy my houses back, but I hadn't really missed them. Then I thought about the cost of a new aritificial tree and once again, that high priced sleigh didn't seem quite so high. Last of all, I thought about all of the little things that I used to pick up for Christmas decorating and how they all added up. I finally realized that I didn't want any new Hallmark ornaments, and if I skipped the Christmas poinsettas, I would have plenty of room for the sleigh in front of the fireplace.

It is only out for a short time every year, but I adore my sleigh and hope that someday my grandchildren will have fond memories of helping me set it up with my dolls just as my own kids have fond memories of helping their grandmother decorate her tree with Hallmark ornaments and set up her ceramic houses.
