Reading through this thread and suddenly can't wait for woodies to stock their Christmas decorations! The Christmas village is a lovely idea and unfortunately is the one thing I keep saying i want to do and always get side tracked! You all have me motivated now to get off my butt and do it this year!

Awh! Sounds lovely ! Well make sure to leave some in the shop- ill be looking for a few! I think they look lovely. Actually the local bakers here has a massive window display of a fab village scene with fake snow little motorised ski slopes! All the kids just stop and stare at it for ages

Woodies 50% off Christmas decorations started !!

After having it on my mind for a few years, this year we eventually started to build a Christmas Village scene, for our bay window.
Planning started for this last December, in terms of buying figurines etc.

We've built up a small, but decent collection over the past 12 months and my wife and I eventually started to build the village last month.

We installed it in our window last night. I am quite please with progress!! Will add to it over the next 12 months and we have some more ideas but as a first go at it, we are happy with the result.

Almost everything comes from the Lemax collection with the exception of two "foreign objects" which are filling some gaps this year.

We'd a couple of late additions which means some wires are visible but we're working on plan for those..
It's been a mostly enjoyable experience and a good team project for us

Oh not that much really I'd need to measure when I get home, I bought the base wood sheet in woodies about 9 months ago, so can't remember the size. It's probably 3.5 x 1.5 foot. Maybe less.

How is everyone doing this time..!?

Anyone improving, extending, setting up new??

Im a couple of days off veing finished yet.

Set up a small lego Christmas village this year but 4 year old has completely wrecked it.....some new lego builds were very inventive like hanging lego figures from the Christmas lights across the ice rink. I actually don’t know wether to laugh or cry. Will post a photo if I get a chance!

Day Lewin

I just need to pop the figures into my Crib, add a few tealights into the hollow houses, and done!

I usually add one house each year: but this year my OH found a series of lighted houses at Lidl and bought the whole string for me. So now we have two villages!

Posy

Oooh, that sounds lovely!!
