Uh oh, trouble seems to be ahead. Will christmas be cancelled this year??? Last week the following press release came to our knowledge:

PRESS RELEASE dd. 12/07/2006 The Multilateral Convent of Santa Claus (MCS) requests its own country. The Americans grant asylum to their Santas at the north pole, the Danish in Greenland, the Swiss in the Black Forest, the Finish in Lapland, the Dutch in Spain and the Russians nowhere. "We Santa Clauses are tolerated, in December we are wanted, but in the end we are homeless", remarks the chairman of the MCS, Dr. Claus. "This has to change", adds the Russian envoy Snegurotschka (in english Snowflake). During the last days, Santas from all over the world gathered in the Miniatur Wunderland and since then live on those 900 square meters. After centuries without a home and loniless in exile, the Santas found their praised land here. "This is the place, we want to stay and build up our own country.", she adds. The Miniatur Wunderland received an official application of the MCS. This application contains, amongst a plea for land to found a Christmas Republic, a proposal for a constitution worked out by the christmas convent. The following points are requested in this proposal.

But even in spiet of the above mentioned press release, we saw at least one Santa at work. Here he accelerates his sleigh in order to fetch the gifts for his next tour! :-))
What's up here? I wonder if the little one got his hands on his gifts too early?!
What is Santa doing on this platform? Did he miss his sleigh???
These pictures just came in from the country where Santa was invented...
However, we couldn't find a clue why he climbs down the tower :-)...
of course, our christmas market in the Hamburg section must not be left in the cabinet during the season!
There must be good prices for christmas trees. the booth is crowded!
This year, however, the dealer received a moose with his trees. Since a moose doesn't really belong in such a packed and noisy place, we'll bring him back to his Scandinavian wilderness next year!
In times of emancipation, we not only meet the traditional Santa but also female ones.She obviously ist not completely dressed up but looking at the current temperatures in the Wunderland, this is quite understandable.
Not only the layout was decorated for the christmas season; our shop and bistro were extensively touched up. Here you can see that there is always a kid in a man's heart: Bobby built a huge Teddybear Christmas house and many small and grown up kids awed at it and were tempted to 'sack it in'...
This picture takes us to 'The question of the week' and the nwe building section. What can be seen on this picture? Enjoy guessing!
To conclude this report, the complete Miniatur Wunderland Team whishes all of you a nice and calm Christmas Season.
N.B. The next report will be issued 27.12.2006. The editors need a short vacancy! :-)
