Disney Dreams will find this amusing because she knows I love to know what new holiday merchandise is on sale at DLR each year, seeing as they have had some really great things that were up my alley in the past. Well, my one and only holiday trip in 2009 was a whirlwind, rather spur of the moment, hectic one-day extravaganza. It also happend to be the ONLY time I did not look in one single shop in DL, DTD or DCA, other than Pooh Corner (just to get pictures of the Christmas tree in there and that was it). There was really no time. I also didn't really have any money to buy any goodies in 2009, but I still would have liked to
look at the stuff just to either tell my friends or post photos here or remember what to look for next holiday season.
So, wouldn't you know that the one and only year where I did not look in any shops in DLR happens to be a year where they had some things I would have wanted badly! They are the Main Street Holiday 'sculptures' (for lack of a better word) and I did
not see them at DLR in 2008 or 2007, so I assume they were brand new in '09. They would have been perfect complements to my ToonTown Holiday Houses and my Haunted Mansion Houses (both the regular HM and the HMH holiday version). I found photos of the Emporium Holiday sculpture and the Main St. Cinema Holiday house on Mice Age/Micechat just a while ago. Here is the link - scroll all the way down the page and you will see them.

I am SOOOOOOO mad that I didn't look in any shops! Arrrgggghhhh. Drat! The way these kinds of collectibles usually work, next holiday season there might be another Main Street Holiday sculpture, but they will have stopped selling one of the other ones, like the Cinema or something. And if I find out that I missed out on an It's a Small World Holiday sculpture or something, I will scream. That is one I would definitely not want to miss!
