About ten years ago I started collecting
Department 56 buildings and figurines. I found them magical to look at during the holidays. After a few years and over ten buildings later, I stopped buying them but still enjoyed putting them out especially after seeing how much my children enjoyed them. Admittedly, there have been some years that I don't feel like putting them out because of the time it takes. This year was one of those years. But my kids wanted them displayed so I did it. Last weekend my Dad took some pictures during our annual gingerbread decorating party and he captured their "magic". Thanks Dad for making me see the "magic" again!
I chose colored lights this year. A welcome change after a few years of white lights!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!

Very cool. Didn't know you had to put those things together! I too switched to color lights! Merry Christmas!
Too fun! I coveted the village buildings at Target for two years and thankfully bought some during the day after Christmas sale the last year they were made! They are the cardstock/glitter kind that remind me of the village I had growing up under our tree. LOVE IT! We do colored lights on the tree...just like when Tommy and I were little. Some things should stay "kid". Merry Christmas!
