Christmas Décor

IMG_6103

I just had to share this, one of my gifts this year...a christmas village based on "A Christmas Story", one of my favorite movies EVER! Luckily, I don't take down our decorations until after New Year's, so I get to enjoy them for a week. Now, I just have to get the neighbor's house, the Theater, the Police Station...

  6. Was this on your wish list or a complete surprise? Either way what a fun gift. So where is the "fragile" box? Surely that's part of the set?

  7. One of my favorite Christmas movies! I still remember laughing and laughing just hearing about it from my sister-in-law some years ago. Now it's a family tradition to watch it. Love that village!

  8. Those are awesome!!! We put up Dickens Villages every year, but I like yours better!! We may have to develop a new, modern neighborhood to fit in those houses!
