My aunt had one when I was a kid, and when I became an adult, had my own for years and years. Yep, thety do get rather bedraggled. What my aunt did was to put cardboard boxes of varying hsizes in a corner, cover the whole shebang with some sort of purple paper, then tuck the houses in varying niches, adding trees, people, etc. with the manger in the middle. It resembled a mountainside. I did a smaller version, using books, and big, black plastic garbage bag tucked in, sprayed with fake snow, then tucked in the village houses, had a skating rink, people pulling kids on sleds.trees, etc. etc. Your villages are just beautiful, I am envious! Hope you have a wonderfully old fashioned Holiday. Merry Christmas, Dustin. Tis a month away, but be happy. Enjoy. Barb Oh, Dustin, I love, love, love your Christmas Villages.

There's something about them I just find almost magical. Funny thing is, I don't have any...I find them to be a pain in the butt to put up, but I love other people's collections. Then I think "maybe next year"! I love Christmas villages. There’s something about them I just find almost magical.
