"Your order is out of stock"

We sent the following email to our subscribers earlier today, and we’re sorry for any confusion it caused! It was meant to be a parody: we do not sell Christmas Village sets, and no order of any kind was processed.

By Alex Dodds, December 21, 2015

If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us. — Alex Dodds, Communications Director

Thank you so much for your recent order of a “Subdivision Christmas Village.” Unfortunately, this item is no longer in stock.

We simply were not getting enough orders of this model to continue producing them. Most of our customers seem to prefer the “Walkable Downtown Christmas Village” collection.

The Walkable Downtown collection is also considerably more practical for the Village’s public finances, and supports a stronger economy for the entire Christmas Village region. These factors also contributed to our decision to discontinue the “Subdivision” model.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and hope you continue to enjoy our Walkable Downtown collection this holiday season. Check out the full set, including our (Re)Building Downtown guidebook, Core Values and WalkUP Wake Up Call reports, free technical assistance workshops, policy resources for local leaders, and much more.

And if you find these resources helpful, consider making a donation to Smart Growth America today.

Sincerely,
The Fulfillment Team @ Smart Growth America

P.S.—Thank you so much to everyone who has already donated!
