DS7 was given an old "Best of Calvin and Hobbes" book by my mom earlier in the school year. He LOVED it. Read it for weeks! 'Neato, I'm buying you a used copy of C&H right now! Look for an Amazon package at your doorstep presently. We must fill that hole in your cultural life. (And yes, I'm serious as a heart attack!) Kriston

I told DS7 that I was buying it for you because you'd never read C&H, and he replied "What! Never? What kind of person is she?!?" ROFL! Obviously it's a seminal work for the under-8 crowd! Kriston

I live in Central Texas so our 'snow' when we do get it is ice mixed: pathetic to say the least but I definitely tried to create the scenes when I was a kid. Be it a miniature scene. So the decapitated snowmen as if in a war zone is heightened by the gigantic kids stomping on them. Yes ... like I said: I LOVE Calvin and Hobbes. And Kriston really needs to send you a book Neato...you will be hooked.
