The second of the two Christmas themed sets is 40263 Christmas Town Square. It's got an even better piece count than the other set. At $9.99 for 179 pieces that comes to just a smidgen more than 6 cents each after you add the tax.
There's a large brick built tree in an enclosure, a pretzel and cupcake stand, a light pole with mailbox, a snowman and a lady pulling a sled. Lovely, and combined with the other set, you can make out a nice little scene. Of course, add in some imagination and ambition, and you can add more detail to your own town square.
Some nice minifigures that were made of pieces that have been in several sets already. The head of the little girl in the middle has been in 52 other sets, her nice blue sweater is in 3 other sets, same as the brown sweater on the little boy. The woman's purple top has been in 6 other sets, but the short pants in flame yellowish orange has only been in 1 other set. I was surprised to see that the top hat has been in 70 sets total, but not surprised to see that the 1x1 round plate has been in 701 sets. Sets worth getting for the right person. Certainly they would make great gifts for the right person.
