Good News.

May I introduce Boo, the homepot;

a great helper,

vacuums and dusts,

cleans windows and bathrooms,

lives happily ever after in a cupboard.

Do not ask, no cooking, but might do the kitchen afterwards if you order one with an extra button.

The war machine scientists have changed course. They have abandoned the production of killing machines  and are now producing very welcome helpers for the household.

In the 1870s,  New Yorks Department stores started to display Christmas cheer.
The elaborate displays  were loved and appreciated  by young  and old, waiting with anticipation for the unveiling of Christmas window displays. Many department stores  have been well-known for their impressive Christmas window spectacles for generations. The availability of large sheets of plate glass in the nineteenth century  led to the concept of using department store windows to attractively display the store's merchandise.
