Shop for Christmas trees, drink some hot cider, drive around and look at holiday lights...If you are lucky enough to be in Ohio, you can go to the aforeblogged Christmas Story House...or drive through Wellington to take in the festive display of Nazi gingerbread men...so many choices.
Keith McGuckin was forced to remove his Nazi gingerbread men from the window of a hardware store in Oberlin, but he has found space for them in an empty storefront in nearby Wellington.
The Secret Lives of Gingerbread Men depicts a small gathering at a Nazi rally.
McGuckin said the subject is meant to provoke thought, not offend.
I remember thinking to myself, 'What's the worst thing a gingerbread man can do?' They're just copying things that people have done. There are no hidden messages here.
Last winter, McGuckin used the hardware store window to display a caroler-bashing snowman, a depiction of a suicidal snowman sitting under a hairdryer and a little boy excited about using his chemistry set to create crystal meth .
