Christmas Village

| | Comments (4)
Judy showed me hers now I'll show you mine. Some of the houses are expensive, some are not. Some were gifts and some I collected here and there. Some are lit by candles, some by eletricity. Some are potpourri houses and some are just for looks. It is a mishmash. I am fond of them all. This is just a few. There is a display upstairs with a train depot and train and a winter fishing cabin but the baby is sleeping and I won't go up there making noise. He doesn't sleep enough as it is.

The farm house is also a favorite piece.

We haven't had snow here yet so I didn't flock them in white this year. Mostly because it can be messy and I have enough to do as it is.) I do not put them all out every year. I pick and choose pieces. some I display and next year maybe I will choose another. The girls love to walk through the house when the lights are off and the houses are lit and image who loves where. Steve walks the baby around and talks to him about the places and people. I just listen to them talking.

Angie, your houses are wonderful! How many do you have altogether? I miscounted when I said I had 12 - it is actually 10. One I didn't put out this year is the florist. It is not a Dickens Village piece, but a Christmas in NY. I love it, but the colors do not match the Dickens Village (it is much brighter) so I don't usually display them together. I guess it wouldn't really matter, would it? I love seeing the village all lit up at night. I use it as sort of a night light in the den while we watch TV and I am looking at the village more than the TV!

Very pretty! I would love to collect those, but it would just be another thing that would make my minor-OCD kick in, so I best not. :)

Merry Christmas!

I love those houses. I don't have any of my own yet. Once I have a real house of my own, I will have place for such treasures.

I got a box from you today. Thank you so much! I've posted a thank you on my blog :)

Merry Christmas!
