Tiny Christmas Villages...

Hello :) Another post from me already. Christmas is coming soooo fast, I cant believe it! But it always sneaks up on me so fast, I barely have time to get everything done. No matter how on the ball I think I am, I am still always running behind. It is a frigid snowy day here in Michigan which really makes it feel like the season. Some years we don't have snow for Christmas and some we do. Growing up in northern Michigan, we always had soooo much snow in the winter. 5-10 feet for Christmas at least. My parents owned a motel when I was growing up and I remember them taking a yard stick outside and measuring the snow because snowmobiler's would call and make sure their was enough snow to make it worth their while to come up, lol. It was so much fun growing up there. Lots of good memories and unique stories! I could write a book about the things that went on there, lol. Maybe I should! I do love to write which is the main reason I started this blog.

Anyway... Today I am posting my little snowy Christmas villages that I have set up in my sitting room. They are nice and small. I don't like a ton of clutter at Christmas for some reason. So I have kept them small and separated into different displays. I am almost finished decorating and ready to bake and just enjoy the season.

I am lucky I took these pictures when I did as my two youngest boys, Edison and Gibson decided to plow through the "snow" with their Hot Wheels cars, lol. Soo cute! Now, I have roads of snow through them. The snow needed plowed, lol. Another motel memory, riding in the old mint green Bronco with my dad in the winter as he plowed the huge parking lot. We thought it was so much fun to smash into the snow banks lol.



This is my reason for the season display. Made up with churches and my beautiful nativity, one of my favorite possessions which actually stays out all year.
A beautiful Christmas house...
Little churches and a little house...
Beautiful creamy white nativity display...
Tons of snow piled all around, vintage ornaments and little gifts too. My son Edison moved these little gifts to under the big white Christmas tree because he said "that is where presents belong" lol! I let him and Gibson each have one of them because they were so enamored with them. And Gibson told me his had a teeny tiny picture of me in it, so he would always remember me. sniff sniff, such precious beautiful special boys I have!!
Awesome bottle brush tree filled with all vintage ornaments including a real Putz house and..
This wonderful church scene ornament. Love this tree! I should have taken more pics of the ornaments all over it because they are awesome!

Isn't this faux snow awesome?? It looks soooo real!
pretty pretty :):) Thank you for letting me share my little displays with you!

Well, I thought I was finished creating for Christmas but Dave came home from work today with a few things for me to re-do. So I will be working on those and if they turn out, they will be in my shoppe next week.

Next up, I will be sharing a new display that I have put up for Christmas this year. I just love it. And I am thinking it has inspired a re-do for my special room in the new year. We shall see!

Have a nice weekend and thank you for stopping by. Hugs ~ Amy

Oh Amy, I love your villages. I have a ceramic one I put up every year and that is it. I have a nativity that needs a redo but I have yet to do it.

Your boys sound just like mine when they were younger they liked playing with there cars under the tree.

Enjoy and stay warm this weekend.

Oh, my my I sure love your tiny village. I certainly am trying to refrain from drooling! I love bottle brush trees decorated and undecorated. I have posted some of my decorations in my dining room. I think you would like them. They seem to be right up your alley.
