It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...


Are you running around Christmas shopping today?  I'm trying to avoid the crowds!
Every year I put up my Dept. 56 snow village... it is a big job and I always say I'm going to skip it, but it's a tradition!  They have a cute website you can check out here... http://www.department56.com/content.aspx?cid=VLSV&ms=PRD&msi=59005
When I put it up I always start with cake plates to give the houses different heights.


I didn't have room for all of them so I put one inside the china hutch with my fireking dishes.


Next I start adding snow to the village.


I add some trees too...

and some cars and people...



I got this church as a wedding present 21 years ago!  It started such a nice tradition.

  1. Cake plates! That is so genius! My Mom and I collected a Victorian Holiday town and Downtown Disney use to have a Dept 56 and we loved it! Thanks so much for linking up to the 4th Friday Finale!
