Pros: Cool and festive party look

Hallmark's Noelville Community Church
Noelville: Where churches are made of gingerbread and topped with candy.
by chelledun
Pros: This is a cute, collectible series.
Cons: Has some odd design features, kind of expensive.
Hallmark is excellent at coming up with new ways to keep its patrons coming back each and every holiday season.  Perhaps its most effective technique is the introduction of multiple ornament "series" which inspire a sense of irrational investment in ...

by susieq112
Pros: Good Age Range, Variety of Games, Educational and Fun
Cons: All Games May Not Be Good For Entire Specified Age Range
