Introduced in 1987, Christmas In The City® is a miniature representation of Christmas time in American cities. Made of porcelain and hand-painted to perfection, this finely detailed city is always bustling.  In honor of lively cities and their diverse architecture, the series offers dozens of places to live, shop, work, dine, and enjoy the arts.  Transportation suits the varying needs of all residents, from riding a carriage of hauling a taxi, to catching the subway.  Sidewalks fill with shoppers and carolers while sightseers occupy park benches.  The city lights dazzle the horizon and the building outline a spectacular skyline.  The overall effect is a perfect blend of holiday cheer and breathtaking cityscapes.
