I've collected antique and odd Christmas items for well over 30 years now. So I take advantage of the only time of year this stuff looks right. House ends up looking like an over stocked resale shop.

The village started out three years ago with 14 buildings I got for $2.50 each. Today it's 41 buildings and 128 trees. Average is still around $2.50 a building. Picked up three of them yesterday for a grand total of $3.65. As with most of the stuff i own I get it on the cheap.

And finally a look from behind the couch back into the kitchen side. I'm going to have to move that aluminum tree. Need to get back up into the attic. 

And I still have more to set up!

So here it is Christmas Eve. Hoping  everyone on the Nation, both you and yours, the merriest of Christmases!

A view to the outside.

The two bookcases. 

This house was built in the lat 50's early 60's. City hall doesn't have records of these old neighborhoods. It's about 1200 square feet. Easy to see it's mostly living room. Almost 16 x22 feet of living room! Just enough room left over for a kitchen, two bedrooms and a full bath. 

And finally the outdoor Nativity! I use 8 watt bulbs in the larger blow molds. Keeps the light even between them all. And it really saves on power usage.

wowzers  ,  that's alot    .  very  nice !~~~

The takedown begins. Two weeks of wrapping and boxing. I have packing lists on the outside of every box. That way i know exactly what is where. Going to have to work around all the rain we've been getting. Record setting rain. May see up to 10 inches total in three days. Right now two of those ten inches have found their way into my basement. Great time for my de humidifier to go on the blink.
