On the hill behind the village and the skating pond is Snob Hill. The folks whop live here are older and ready to retire.; (Except for Mr Kringle); They are the managers of the factories and other enterprises that Mr. Kringle has. They are all older Victorian and Queen Anne houses and they take great pride in their upkeep. Actually. the maintenance and upkeep of these homes is a full time job in itself...but I digress. The name of Snob Hill is actually a misnomer in that the folk that live there are "salt of the earth". In the house on your right lives the manager of the toy factory. They are still building lots of dolls, toy trains, drums, and tops, but they are also dabbling with electronic toys too. The one that they are working on right now is a robotic hamster.Seems to be taken up;by the youngsters quite handily.In the house to your left lives the manager of the bakery. (Actually, bakeries); She has over 600 employees that she;is responsible for.; Some of thefolk make candy, some;make cookies, and others are responsible for the fruitcake.The rivalry from the ice hockey games is entering into;Snob Hill too.; Each of the managers is encouraging the team members on their respective teams with extra incentives.They have been giving the athletes extra time off to practice, extra food at their meals, and days off to rest up. The unfortunate thing is that because of this, nobody gets any extra advantage.The games from last night: Toy Makers -- 1 B;P 0 Bakers 2 -- Farmers 1Canadians--bye.If anybody has anything that they want to ask about Christmastime Village and their occupants, please feel free to ask.'Til later...
