Twiggish, your colors just make that scene just so warm and inviting, it's like I can almost smell gingerbread, peppermint, and cinnamom. It just makes me want to sit down with a cup of apple cider and gaze at it. Maris love your twirling Santa!...but what's an orangery?

Very nice twiggy. Is that CIC or is it Snow village? Marys the Orangery is my favorite building, it has a glass dome on top and you can see palm trees inside it. will post a larger photo of it, It isnt the most expensive of my buildings but the prettiest I think. Rac check out ehobby tools, great prices on the trees. I bought all my trees there.

Ya know Rach, as often as I'm in Walmarts craft department I've never looked for the little houses, lol. I'll have to check them out next time I'm there. Zmom, I didn't get by Michaels today and my heads just pounding now after grocery shopping and stopping by the mils so I won't be going back out. I'll try for tomorrow.

It looks like the Snow village. I collect the Dickens village. What is funny is my nephew who is 30 and his girlfriend now collect D56. he said he used to love to come to my house to see my village and new buildings that he and his girlfriend now collect. They are collecting Christmas in the City.

Okay, now you all know my dirty little secret. My Christmas village has a town drunk! When my granddaughter was little there was a purple dragon hiding out in my covered bridge too! Apparently I have a little Peyton Place on my hands...whatever shall I do! Such shame and embarrassment.

Great Christmas villages everyone! I haven't put mine up in about three years, but it is not the larger (D56) one. The buildings are about half that size. Now I'm wondering if I'll get the energy to put it up between now and Christmas! I'm in total agreement about Tera's trees - gorgeous!

Your wait is over.... The village was a bit different when I put it up as the kids keep playing with the villagers lol (they even have a small santa on top of a house in the back lol.
The same goes for my Christmas tree - they have the lambs looking after baby Jesus in the stable lol

I hit Kurt Adler's sample sale today so I have a good chunk of my christmas tree decorations bought for a fraction of retail. For those of you who use real trees, when do you put them up. I always wait till the last minute thinking it will last longer but then it occurred to me that the tree has probably been sitting in the lot the longest without water. So now I am thinking maybe I will get my tree around the 20th. I always worry about live trees drying out and causing fires which is why I buy new lights every year.

Maris: I just saw a great invention It looks like a gift but it stores water and has a tube that goes to the tree so you can water the "gift" and never worry about the tree going dry it hold a good amount. I think it was at a lowes or someplace like that.
