If people don't want a Christmas touch, then for heaven's sake, don't buy the lighthouse! I love my Christmas HLs. My grandkids always are looking at them to find the snowmen or wreaths etc. I know they will love the sleigh. I think Christmas can be a part of your life all year long. In fact, I have a Christmas tree (small) in my den that stays up all year that has my lighthouse ornaments on it. When the grandkids stay with me, we turn on the lights and watch the Hallmark lighthouses blink on and off. Too bad 2009 was the last year for that series. I have lots of other small lighthouse ornaments from my travels. It's great fun to be a lighthouse collector including the Christmas HLs with all the added decor.
