By ROBERT PHILPOT When Hank Stuever came to Frisco in 2006 to work on Tinsel: A Search for America’s Christmas Present, his meditation on Christmas and consumerism, his favorite activity wasn’t directly connected with the holiday. It was connected to the modern mega-suburb, chain-store lifestyle that fascinates him and has driven much of his writing.While working on the book, Stuever would occasionally drop into the IKEA store at Texas 121 and Dallas North Tollway and watch shoppers as they looked at displays suggesting how to furnish spaces smaller than 500 square feet."They’ve got it all tricked out, with the bunk bed that you sleep on, and the desk underneath, and the little kitchen and bathroom," Stuever, a writer for The Washington Post, says during a phone interview.
