No, I would think that Xmas buckets, if they exist, will get put out the
day after Thanksgiving.

Well, this year I have a LOT more parts to build with and plan to do
something a bit more elaborate, time permitting. I think I know most of
the train-ish sites but haven't really seen a lot of ideas. Are there
sites I don't know about?

Also, I got a specific request from Josette for a car with packages,
etc. I'm searching for bow and ribbon ideas. One idea that Taya, my 9
year old, came up with is to just use a 2x2 or 2x3 brick and put a
flower (petals only, not the green stem) on the center of 4 of the studs
to represent a bow. I really liked that, it works well. Any others?

I'd love to see a discussion on building christmas specific stuff if
people are interested...

One big problem I have in general is a severe lack of green in mass
quantities. (I did put a bid in on Scott's big green lot...) But we all
have that problem I bet, especially for green plates....

If there's going to be a christmas bucket, we should have seen it by
now, no? I'm suspecting that the lead time to evaluate the Target
results and do something is too short.

(...) Right. But remember the swirl of rumors about the H buckets? Haven't heard any yet, have we? Or am I misremembering the rumor mill level? (26 years ago, 15-Nov-98, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.build)
