DECOR: Christmas Village

Christmas Village!
I went to Kentucky over the weekend to relax.  I had such a wonderful time and I will be posting more later on the road trip.... but for today, I am posting about Christmas Decor!  Just look at this wonderful winter wonderland of a Christmas Village!! I am completely blow away how wonderful this village is, just look at it!!! Years of collecting and many memories.  Such a wonderful tradition.  I went to visit my friends parents; Judy and Rich F. They have such a beautiful home and they have it completely decorated for the season!  This village is a work in progress, and 15 years of collecting.  Each piece has a story and they set it up with their grandchildren every year. 

Traditions are such a wonderful thing!  I am going to Cali for Christmas and I can't wait to get there to do some baking and cooking with my nieces.  My family is all about food, so Christmas is filled with good things to eat and drink.  All the women gather in the kitchen for days preparing food and drink for the house full of people who come for dinner or just stop by for a treat and holiday cheer.
I love passing on the recipes to my nieces, they love being in the kitchen as much as I did as a child.  

What traditions do you have for the holiday season?

  1. Until I saw this post I had totally forgotten that my mother made a Christmas winter landscape every year, when I was a child. Every year there was added a new elf or two and the landscape grew bigger and bigger. We didn´t have synthetic snow so we used cotton wool.
    Thank you for making me remember :-)
