My Christmas Village (With "Real" Snow).

Normally, Matt & I buy our Christmas tree & decorate the outside & inside of our house Thanksgiving weekend. But, Matt went hunting Friday & Saturday. And, it's been raining all day today...it wouldn't be good for Matt to climb on a wet roof. Determined to decorate SOMETHING, I put up my Christmas village. This year, Matt found me some "real" snow at Holiday House. You scoop up some snow powder, put it in a little plastic cup & add 4 tablespoons of water. The water expands the powder, turning it into snow.

See? Snow! Isn't that cool?

Here's the 1st part of my Christmas village. To the left is the Noel House. We got it the 1st year we were in our house. Next is the Comic Book Store, then the Peanut Brittle Factory & finally the Wedding Chapel. We got that one the year we were married. Can you see the snow?

The 2nd part of my village is on top of our entertainment center. To the right is the Chalet Lake House. Next to it, is Wrigley Field. My mom gave that to Matt because he's a die hard Cubs fan.

To the left is KBRR TV station. We got that one because we work in the news business. Next to it is the Teddy Bear Factory.

Here's our mantle. Duh.

And, here's our Snowman group. I think they're cute!

So, there you have it! My Christmas village. I'll post pictures next weekend of our tree & the outside of our house.

Looks Great! I asmit, even thought I'm a scrooge. . .I put the christmas village up over the weekend because I couldn't stand the thought of it only being out for a few weeks when I (paid so much) bout it for Gary for his birthday the one year. I don't have great looking snow though...lol

You are so crafty! I need to take lessons from some of you ladies. It doesn't even feel like Christmastime over here (ha- probably because they don't celebrate it!), it's sad! \I can't wait to go home on vacation to be immersed in the season.

I love your Christmas stuff! I would love to have a village one day. Maybe I should start collecting now and keep adding to it. What a great idea. My kids would love it, too. And the snowmen are so sweet!

WOW!
So pretty!
I LOVE having the house decorated but trudging to the cold basement to lug up all the totes just gives me shivers.

Wanna come help?

Your village is so cute! I love how each buliding means something to you, and how Matt is included with the news building and the stadium. Very cool.
Your mantle is nicely decorated too, but I must say my eye was drawn to the beautiful photo hanging above the mantel. :)
I like your snowmen too. I LOVE snowmen and will have to post some photos of my own once we're done decorating.
Can't wait to see your other decor for the holidays.
**sorry I've been so scarce lately. Have an awesome weekend!
