My Very Own Collection

For as long as I can remember, I have always had this fascination with my mother's Christmas village. When I was young the village was very small and had few houses and a couple tiny porcelain people. As I grew the village did too. I would buy people and pets and snowmen and trees. Everything and anything you can imagine is in my village but in a small glass form. We even have a Walmart and a Joan Fabrics. Every year I set it up for Christmas. I just find it so cute and it became my own Christmas tradition to set it up all by myself. The result, seeing each house or church or store lit up and all the tiny village people walking or playing in the snow, is absolutely worth every minute I put into it.
